I made a short fanfic of Diluc.
I posted it to Wattpad, but it'll also be good here. My first Genshin Fanfic. I might make more. I'll post it on Wattpad, Tumbler, or both.
Universe: Genshin Impact
Characters: Diluc Ragnvindr and The Traveler (Aether/M or Lumine/F)
Story Type: Fluff
Short story of Diluc and Lumine chatting in the Angels Share.
It's kinda a y/n scenario. You just replace Lumines name with yours. Kinda like in the game
✨️Spoilers for the Sumeru Dainslef quest, btw✨️
The scene starts now 🔥❤️🐦
After fighting tiresly throughout Teyvat, you and Paimon decide to take a break and head to the best region in all of Teyvat-
The city of Wind and Wine.
Walking through the grand gates of Mondstat, you breathe in the aroma. A mixture of wine and flowers. Mondstat was always your favorite thanks to the charming sights. It was cramped but cozy.
As you make your way through the streets, you listen to Paimon go on and on about your past experiences and why she's happy you are back in Mondstat, before you finally make it to where you want to go. The place you longed for.
This was the place 99% of your friends hung out, so you knew you could meet up with the ones you haven't seen in a long time.
Pushing open the door, you see
Charles cleaning mugs whistling a tune.
You look around Angels Share to see if you can spot any of your friends you manage to spot a familiar blue haired man.
It was no surprise to see him here. He practically lived anywhere alcohol was available. Literally
But what was a surprise was who was sitting with him.
As you approach the man, he turns with a smile
"Oh, if it isn't the lovely travler and Paimon~, it is a pleasure to see you both after so long!" Kayea Alberich says joyfully as he stands up to greet you both.
You exchange pleasantries with Kayea and turn your attention to the man who was with him. A familiar redhead, you think to yourself how easy it is to notice someone based on their hair...
The man stands up and speaks. Glaring at his adoptive brother so he will leave you alone.
"Grettings, Travler. I hope your expedition has been fruitful and exciting." Diluc, the richest man in Mondstat and owner of the wine industry who is also secretly batm- I mean the dark knight... wait a minute...
You and the brothers chat for a bit until Diluc sends Kayea away so you both could chat alone. Without the most flirtous Knight of Favonuis.
You both chat until he has to close up Angels Share. After escorting everyone out and saying good night to Charles, he rejoins you at your table. So you guys can talk about anything.
It was mainly for The Abyss and Fatui Intel, but he was OK with anything. Being a trailer makes it hard to find time to hang out, so you both just talk about anything that comes to mind.
"Yeah, then in Sumeru, we ran into Kayea. He probably already told you about it, but I don't know what all he told you. While we were talking with Kayea, Dainslef appeared and told us he noticed some Abbysal activity in the area. So we said goodbye to Kayea, because Kayea hates Dain, and we went to the area he wanted to look at. Well, when we got there, i -" the travler stops to try remembering what happens next.
"Ah, sorry... my memories are so hazy.... Sumeru really messed up my memories, eh... um, but I did get this." The traveler then pulls out the photo they got when waking up in Sumeru
Diluc takes the picture and smiles lightly. "So this is what your twin looks like. You both look similar yet so different. I hope you both get reunited soon." He slides the photo back you.
You chuckles dryly. "We technically did, but.... Caribert, I think... I think he removed our memory, but he also gave me a picture to remember it. Ah i don't know. Sorry, Diluc. Let's uh talk about something out." You cough dryly to try changing the subject.
Diluc notices the change in your attitude, so he smiles warmly and pats your hand. He nods and leans back in his chair, thinking about a new topic.
He finally decides to talk about how Razors training was coming along. Ever since the wind Blume event, Diluc took Razor under his wing to train him in combat.
"He is an excellent swordsman. Although he does falter, landing some blows." Diluc says with a soft chuckle.
You both chat some more until you decide to call it a night. Diluc let's you sleep in the spare room in Angels Share.
But before you decide to climb the spiral staircase, you turn around to Diluc.
"Hey... would you mind staying with me? It's OK if you don't want to. I understand. I just.... I don't want to spend another night alone..." You look to the side awaiting his response, not expecting him to accept.
You both had a rough day, well worse than what it normally was, and you both just needed to vent and be with someone.
You remembered that today was the day. It was the 6th year anniversary of Crepus Ragnvindr's unfortunate death. Crepus was Dilic's father and Kayeas adoptive father.
So that's why Kayea and Diluc were drinking together, reminiscing about past times. You felt guilty to disturb them.
Diluc looked at you with a small smile and nodded.
"Sure, I'm sure you know what today is... normally, I spend the rest of the night alone. But... I would appreciate company. Especially from you." He looked at you, with a look you have never seen on him.
Dispear, dread, sadness, and loss. But it was fleeting, he shook his head, probably to get rid of any negative thoughts that was bringing him down, and replaced it with his usual friendly smile. The smile he only wore around his friends.
You extend your hand to him, and he accepts. You both walk up the staircase
Making your way into the room you watch as he takes off his coat and boots. When he finishes dedressing himself, he gets comfortable on the bed and waits for you.
You decide to strip to your birthday suit and crawl beside him. He was like a personal heater thanks to his Pyro vision. You lay with your back to him and listen to him breathe.
"Diluc?" You ask, checking if he was still awake.
He let's out a low hum to acknowledge you.
"... Do you.... do you blame all the Fatui?... I know you blame them... for obvious... reasons... but I was wondering how you felt for them..." You slightly ask him.
You have encountered so many fatui members, but only 2 seemed to be evil. One was thankfully dead though.
Diluc ponders your question before answering "I... I hate some of them. I hate how they can easier get away with things, they murder and steal for no reason, they use the delusions... but I know some of them might be forced to be with the Fatui. But I still hate them. If I come across good ones... that won't change my mind. They still support Dottore. And I can't stand that..." He finishes with a sigh.
"But I know some of them are your friends... so... I know some of them are ok people."
He leans his head on your back and hums "I trust you. You helped so much, you even destroyed a delusion factory, saving millions of lives.."
You listened to him vent until he eventually fell asleep against your back
You sigh and slowly nod off. You desperately missed having someone to be with. You traveled for years with your sibling, although obvious you slept in separate beds, you still missed the sound of someone else snoring and missed having someone, anyone with you.
Sure you had Paimon but.... that's Paimon. It's different.
You felt like you didn't need to look over your shoulder or keep an eye open when you slept. You felt so. Safe.
Eventually you dozze off alongside Diluc.
This was the best night in a long time.
I hope this one is good and people like it.
It's my first one off I have made. I hope I did the characters justice. I realized I messed up half way through, so if anyone sees some odd writing its because I fucked up, but I hope I fixed it.
Requests can be accepted if I know the character:)
Any Fandom, as long as I know it.
