#comedy??

Oh yeah so tonight this guy went in before our band and I loved him so much. He’s supposed to be a caveman from like 3000 BC 😭 he went by the stage name “OOG Son of AAG”

(Edit: this is the first fic I’ve written in a while so don’t expect too much)

Warnings: none

“So you’re saying this [Name] person, can make people laugh easily?” Cyno raised his hand to his chin as his head ran with thoughts.

“Yeah, their a stand up comedian. Maybe you would benefit from seeing them” Tighnari laughed jokingly

“You’re right” Cyno stopped and looked at him “let’s go see them”

That caught the other off guard

“what- now??”

“Yes now, I wanna hear how funny they are” Cyno dragged him by the warm all the way to Sumeru city “ok ok- uh take care Collei!”

Once they arrived Cyno began searching the area, vividly. This, of course, caught many people by surprise. They muttered to themselves ‘is he looking for someone? This can’t be good’

It wasn’t until he heard the sound of laughter coming from, a small stage where you had taken the crowd by storm.

So of course he has to come in and check it out.

“And I said ‘no, why would I transport it myself? We literally have the traveler for that’”

The crowed roared in laughter even Tighnari cracked a chuckle.

But not too long after the laughter quickly died down. You looked around and noticed Cyno himself standing there.

“Ah, am I trouble general?” You chuckle to yourself has you sit down on the stage

To that he shook his head “no no, I’m just hear to enjoy your set”

“Oh thank goddess, I was scared you heard my jokes about the sages-“ you muttered that last part

“Anyway! So my Akasha terminal was acting up recently, I asked it to show me the best place to get a massage in Teyvat because- well you know how hard it is to stand around all day right?”

The people laughed

Cyno nodded “I think this is what you call a self deprecating joke?” He thought to himself

“Anyway I ask and it sends me back the Sneznayan postal service”

“They must’ve said message instead of massage-“ Cyno whispered to himself taking mental notes

You take a sip of your water before sitting back down “hey general! Got any jokes for us?”

The scholars look to you as if you just committed an offence but, to their surprise Cyno nods

“Ayeee come on get up here!” You took his hand and helped him on stage

“Give it a shot, yeah?” You handed him the microphone.

Cyno thought for a moment “smart people are pretty hot”

You tilt your head “how come?”

“Because, they have more degrees”

You watch as the crowd irrupts in laughter, you look back at him putting your hands on his shoulders “hey they love you” you chuckle.

For a swift moment the two of you looked into each others eyes, this moment was interrupted by you taking the mic from his hand “I’ll take it from here general”

Cyno nodded and went back to his seat, not without a light nudge from Tighnari.

After the show was over you helped pack up your stuff but before you could leave Cyno stood before you.

“Oh hey! Did you enjoy the show?” You smile

“I did, you’re really great up there. Actually I was wondering something?”

“Oh? What is it?“ you asked as you take a sip from your water

“can you teach me how you do your sets?”

You choke “I’m- I’m sorry??”

“Your ability to make people laugh is incredible. Can you teach me how you do that?”

You thought for a moment “hmm well I’m not sure how I’m supposed to do that but I can give it a go”

He nods seeming satisfied “please take this as a token of appreciation” he got something out his pocket and placed it in your hands, then he vanished.

You look down at your hands to reveal a scarab “oh nice, 200 more and I can ascend-“

-boys with beautiful eyelashes

-walgreens late at night where no-one can see

-movies on summer afternoons, hot and nostalgic, that release you into the quiet embrace of a dense night 

-the feeling of brokenness when you must leave where you belong
