#follower.100

I had a lot of characters in mind for this prompt, but I landed on Sunday in the end! [ Sunday | "Don’t forget how much I love you." ]

“What’s a kinder way to say control freak? Control nerd?”

Sunday huffed, “that is not any kinder than control freak.”

There was an attempt to stifle his pout, but the way his wings drooped gave much more away than the curve of his lips. Sunday never thought of himself as easy to read, but something about (Name) made him thaw.

They nudged Sunday’s shoulder, leaning against him with a smile. “But I mean it in a kind way! You’re fussing over me. That’s very cute.”

“Is it fussing to make sure you’re not forgetting to pack a meal? That you have a working charger?” Sunday gestured to (Name)’s bag again— a regular-sized backpack suitable for the short trip they were making to the Xianzhou Luofo to catch up with Sushang. Not a dangerous journey to uncharted territory that Sunday seemed to be prepping them for.

(Name)’s grin squished against Sunday’s shoulder blade as they wrapped their arms around his waist, blocking him from the inevitable escape Sunday would try to make. “With all due respect, that is quite literally the definition of fussing.”

Sunday tried to retreat, but when (Name)’s grip tightened, he gave up in an instant. Not because he couldn’t break free, but because there was nothing more soothing than the feeling of (Name) cuddled close to him.

They continued, “I said it was cute, and I meant it! How lucky am I to have someone who cares so much about me?”

“Who wouldn’t care about you?” Sunday asked, incredulous. It was an idea he had simply never considered before, and he was disgusted by it. He finally turned to face (Name) properly, smoothing out their hair with a precise touch.

“What did I say? Cute.” There wasn’t any better way to describe it, in (Name)’s eyes. “I do appreciate you trying to take care of me as much as possible. Even if you’re acting like I’m heading off the grid, for some reason.”

Sunday narrowed his eyes. “I am well aware of where you’re going,” he corrected. “I just prefer to be cautious at all times. I don’t want you to forget something important.”

Important things, like a charger, toothbrush, a light jacket, and small first-aid kit, were already stuffed into (Name)’s bag the moment they even mentioned the weekend trip to Sunday. “I could never. Not with your poignant reminders.”

“Reminders are a necessity. Such as…” Sunday slid his hand to the back of (Name)’s head, guiding them so that their lips ghosted against each other. Before committing to contact, Sunday added, "don’t forget how much I love you."

(Name) met Sunday’s kiss with a laugh. “Wouldn’t dream of it.”

To celebrate 100 followers, Zhongli finally arrives to this blog. [ Zhongli | "Your smile always cheers me up." ]

There was no good reason for Zhongli to be passing anywhere nearby Wanmin Restaurant at that time of day. It was possible that he was out in the marketplace to gather materials for rituals, but if that were the case, Director Hu would have been at his side and happily providing him with the mora he needed.

As he approached (Name)’s table, though, Zhongli was alone, carrying no explanations.

“Hello dear,” Zhongli said, soft and warm like he wasn’t supposed to be literally anywhere else.

(Name) blinked. “Zhongli? Aren’t you supposed to be working right now?”

“I am,” he started, while pulling the chair opposite of them. “Well, I was. But, I overheard Miss Yanfei mention you were enjoying a meal at Wanmin Restaurant, so I decided to stop by.”

He said it like it wasn’t anything special— or problematic to his work efficiency. Zhongli took his seat and reached over the table to take one of (Name)’s hands into his, fingers tracing circles on the back of their palm.

(Name) squeezed his hand, though they couldn’t temper their concern right away. “Hmm… Should my memory serve me well, Wanmin Restaurant is quite a bit out of the way of your usual route through the city.”

There was just the slightest hint of mischief in Zhongli’s expression. Most people would miss it, but (Name) had seen it plenty of times before. “Is that so? Well, Liyue Harbor is not that big of a city. If I took a wrong turn, I would end up here.”

“One wrong turn? Try several.”

Finally, Zhongli smiled, dropping all pretenses. “I can never get one past you.”

(Name) scooted their chair closer, until their shoulders touched. “I don’t think you were trying to. It’s alright— Director Hu would be the last person to get on your case about taking a little detour on your route.”

It was true to the point that Zhongli knew it in his heart, but he was still committed to professionalism. Not enough to abstain from visiting his partner on work hours, but it was still important to him. “I can’t help but find my way towards you. Your smile always cheers me up.”

(Name) leaned up to kiss Zhongli’s cheek, to which he leaned into shamelessly. “And your words always make me swoon.”

Thank you for your business 😄

Hello! Thank you so much for your request. It truly warms my heart that the first request for this event was for Banri. I hope you enjoy!

“You recommended me?!” 

Banri shrugged. “Ya just have to say one line and hold my hand. I thought it’d be cute.”

They groaned into their hands, their attempts to curl further in on themself obstructed by Banri keeping a tight hold around their waist.

“I’ve never been on stage in my life. I’m gonna ruin the entire play.” (Name) could already imagine the stage lights melting them as they fumbled the few words they had to say. Mankai had spent years rebuilding their reputation, and (Name) was going to tank it in one fell swoop.

Clearly, Banri thought otherwise. He leaned back to bring (Name) up with him, ghosting his lips against their neck. “No way. You’ll be fine. You’re gonna get on stage and wow everyone with just one line. They’ll throw roses.”

“They’ll throw tomatoes,” (Name) whined, but Banri wouldn’t let them get any further away. Not before nearly squeezing the life out of them, pressing his cheek against the side of (Name)’s head. Banri was never wont to let (Name)’s self deprecation get too far— or anywhere at all. 

He didn’t loosen his grip until (Name) tapped on his arm repeatedly, confirming Banri’s victory. Even then, Banri only gave (Name) enough room to breathe before reaching for their face, fingers brushing lightly against their chin.

Banri’s gaze softened— not that it was ever serious in the first place. Intense maybe, but Banri couldn’t help the way his lip turned up at the sight of (Name) so close to him. “Stop that. No one’ll throw tomatoes… but if they do, I’ll beat their ass.”

A wet laugh tumbled out of (Name)’s mouth, finally treating Banri to a smile. “You promise?”

“I promise,” Banri nodded, and sealed it with a kiss. He let himself linger on (Name)’s lips with every other feeling he found difficult to express. “I won’t let anything happen to you, I swear. Come to the first rehearsal, and if you still don’t want to do it, you can bow out.”

(Name) leaned into his hand and raised a brow. “Really? Are you gonna complain if I do?”

“Well, duh,” he scoffed without an ounce of malicious intent. “But, you’re cute. So I’ll forgive you.”
