Pet Names: "My lady/lord" (playful chivalry), "My muse", or "Darling"

Xingqiu is completely obsessed with martial arts novels and romantic poetry, so his entire approach to affection is incredibly theatrical. In public or when he’s trying to fluster you he will drop into a dramatic, sweeping bow, look up at you through his eyelashes and call you "My lady/lord" with a smug, teasing grin. He absolutely loves to playfully embarrass you in front of Chongyun. But when the two of you steal away to a secluded corner of the Wanwen Bookhouse he will rest his head in your lap while you read together, lightly tracing lines on your palm, and call you "Darling" in a voice that is soft and sincere. He also loves calling you "My muse" because he secretly writes romantic poems about you in the margins of his book drafts.

Pet Names: "My cool breeze" or "Honey" (spoken with an immediate blush)

Because of his pure yang energy, Chongyun has spent his entire life suppressing his emotions, fearing that getting too excited or passionate will make him lose control. Falling in love with you is the ultimate test of his willpower. The very first time he tries to call you a traditional nickname like "Honey", his temperature will instantly spike, his face will turn as bright red as a Jueyun Chili and he’ll violently open a popsickle just to keep from fainting on the spot. But once he gets used to the feeling of your hand in his, he will look at you with pure devotion and call you "My cool breeze". He will gently lean his cool forehead against yours, sighing in relief because you are his peace.

Pet Names: "My dearest", "Beloved", or "My treasure"

Zhongli is old-school and carries the poise of a man who has lived through thousands of years of history. Because of this his affection is patient and deeply rooted. He thinks modern slang is entirely unsuited for the depth of his feelings so his terms of endearment are timeless. When he calls you "My dearest", it carries the weight of a contract written in gold. He loves the domestic rhythm of your relationship, he’ll be fixing you a cup of tea or carefully arranging a hairpin in your hair, looking at you with so much warm adoration that it makes you melt. If he calls you "My treasure", he says it with a rumbling voice that vibrates right through your chest and when he holds you, he makes you feel like you are the most precious and irreplaceable thing in the history of Teyvat.

Pet Names: "Babe", "My lucky star", or "Sunshine"

Pet Names: "Dearest" or "My dawn"

Diluc is absolutely not the type to use cheesy, flashy nicknames (he thinks things like "babe" or "honey" are kind of ridiculous and awkward). Instead, his affection is incredibly quiet and physical. If he’s calling you something other than your name, it’s going to be "Dearest", and he will only say it in a private murmur when it's late at night at the Dawn Winery. It usually happens when he’s completely exhausted after a night of protecting Mondstadt from the shadows. You'll be sitting together by the fireplace, and he’ll gently take your hands to warm his up, looking at you with so much devotion before murmuring "Are you tired, dearest?" If he's feeling particularly sentimental he might refer to you as "My dawn".

Pet Names: "My muse", "Sweetheart", or "Little bird"

Venti is a literal bard, so you already know his terms of endearment are going to sound like they were pulled straight out of a romance poem. He absolutely loves calling you "My muse", and he’s entirely serious about it, he’ll dramatically rest his head on your lap while strumming his lyre, claiming that your smile is the only reason he can compose beautiful melodies anymore. He also uses "Sweetheart"...a lot, usually whined out in a playful, dragging tone when he’s trying to convince you to share your food or when he’s just clinging to your arm because he wants attention. But his most comforting nickname for you is "Little bird". He drops it when you’re having a rough day or feeling trapped by your responsibilities, wraping his arms around you from behind, swaying gently with you, and whisper, "Don't worry so much, little bird... the wind will carry us wherever you want to go."

Pet Names: "My Lupical" or "Pretty companion"

Razor doesn't understand human dating conventions, slang, or traditional romantic words, which actually makes his terms of endearment the most pure and tender things you'll ever hear. To him, the highest form of love and belonging is family, so calling you "My Lupical" is his ultimate way of declaring that you are his home. When he tries to use human words to describe how pretty he thinks you are, he’ll look straight into your eyes with those red eyes, tilt his head, and call you his "Pretty companion". He says it so casually and naturally while handing you a handful of fresh Wolvenberries he picked for you. If he notices you’re feeling sad, he will gently press his forehead against yours and nuzzle your hair, murmuring how much his "pretty companion" means to him. He just wants you to feel safe and warm because your presence makes his chest feel full.

Pet Names: "My lucky charm" or "Honey"

This poor boy flushes bright red from his neck to the tips of his ears every single time he tries to use a pet name. Bennett is so incredibly used to everything in his life going completely wrong that having you love him back feels like an impossible miracle. Because of that, "My lucky charm" is his absolute favorite thing to call you. He genuinely believes that whenever he’s holding your hand or hugging you, his bad luck takes a back seat and the world becomes a little kinder to him. If he tries to say something more traditional and romantic like "Honey", he’ll probably stutter over the syllables, trip over a completely flat rock immediately after saying it, and then scramble to apologize while hiding his burning face in his hands. But if you smile, pulling his hands away from his face and telling him you like it? He’ll give you the biggest, brightest, most dazzling smile, tightly gripping your fingers and whispering how incredibly lucky he is to have you.

Pet Names: "My core" or "Dearest"

Albedo views the world through a very analytical, alchemical lens, so his affection isn't loud or dramatic, but it is precise and deeply intimate. He isn't going to shout nicknames across a crowded street, but when you are sitting quietly with him in his snowy workshop in Dragonspine, he’ll look up from his sketches, his eyes softening completely as they land on you and he'll ask, "Are you cold, my core?" To Albedo, the "core" is the most essential, perfect, and unchangeable part of any creation. By calling you that, he is admitting that you are the absolute center of his universe. When he's feeling a bit more conventional, he’ll use a soft, breathed-out "Dearest". He’ll say it while gently brushing a strand of hair behind your ear, his fingers lingering on your cheek as he studies your face like you are the most beautiful masterpiece he has ever had the privilege to paint.

Pet Names: "Darling" or "My compass"

Mika is an absolute, stuttering nervous wreck when it comes to romance, which makes his pet names high-key adorable. The very first time a nickname slips out of his mouth, it’s probably a complete accident because he was daydreaming about you during a meeting.

He’ll frantically start checking his survey maps upside down, apologizing profusely and sweating bullets just to avoid looking you in the eye. But once you two are alone and he gets comfortable holding your hand, the sweetness really comes out. He might secretly write "My compass" in the margins of his cartography notes next to little doodles of you. He will look at you with so much adoration and whisper that no matter how lost or far away he gets on an expedition, thinking of his "compass" is the only thing that always guides him safely back home.

Pet Names: "My favorite" or "Sunshine"

Durin is basically learning how to navigate human emotions and relationships completely from scratch. He is incredibly timid, sweet, and a little bit fragile because he carries a lot of deep-seated guilt and is terrified of accidentally scaring people away. Because of this, his pet names are the epitome of pure, innocent devotion. He will literally just call you "My favorite" because, in his mind, out of every single living being in Teyvat, you are the person he loves to watch flowers with the most. When he calls you "Sunshine", he’ll say it with this huge, shy blush dusting his cheeks and his hands nervously tugging at his clothes. He’ll look at you with total awe because your kindness and your warm smiles literally washed away the cold, dark, agonizing memories of his past on the snowy mountain.

But when he’s being genuinely romantic, he doesn't hide his feelings from anyone. He will wrap one of his huge, scarred arms around your shoulders, throw his head back, and proudly brag to his entire expedition force about "My treasure". He wants the whole world to know how completely head-over-heels he is for you. However, the most endearing moments happen when it’s just the two of you, his voice drops to a surprisingly soft, deep, rough timber. He’ll gently cup your face with his hand making you realize just how safely protected you are and call you "Beautiful" with so much warmth and sincerity it will completely take your breath away.
