Diluc owns and runs a flowershop

Thoma works at the café literally next door — he brings Diluc coffee bc that’s what nice people do… (ha, he’s so gay)

Childe is the idiot that goes in to buy large amounts of flowers (still potted, not a single one is cut) and regift them to both Diluc and Thoma.

Why? He’s a gay bastard. That’s why. And he thinks they’re both very pretty—

kaebedo modern fic where albedo studies art in fontaine and kaeya is there for a year on exchange from mondstadt and falls in love. oopsie

eimiko but from the perspective of makoto as the sacred sakura. probably like 4-7 short moments that take place beneath the tree/by the tree

xiaother fic where aether tries to teach xiao that his hands arent only for violence (they can also pet puppies!!)

thoma comes back into town and starts drinking with diluc even though both of them hate it to try and impress the other. both get drunk super quickly. thomluc agenda

Mon vie (What if Crepus taught Thoma french when he was younger before he moved to Inazuma and he stuck with it? Also it translates to My Life, I don’t remember if there’s a masc version of “life” but I’m sure someone who knows the language better than I do can correct me.)

Diluc’s Nicknames for Thoma:

Dork

Dumbass but lovingly

Babe

Cheeseball (Probably said it half awake)

Pretty boy (stole it from Thoma, it’s his now.)

(Also the only ones i can think of atm, same rules apply)

(Also I see Thoma as someone who gets easily flustered so he rambles and stutters a lot — also he’d be the king of aftercare)

Enjoy!

The morning was peaceful, delicate rays of sunlight snuck past his curtains as the faint glow of string lights hung from above. His apartment was relatively empty, the walls pristine and clean, very little hanging along them in his room, his king sized bed sitting just a little ways away from his window.

Typically, Diluc found himself cold on mornings similar to this one — the air conditioner harsh but with the merciless heat hounding the campus as of late, the cool air became necessary. This morning, however, was different, much different. For once he was warm. The warmth that enveloped him was gentle, careful and shy in its touches. Faint memories of chaste kisses and sweet fingers that danced carefully along his pale skin.

It wasn’t his first time per se, but he’s never had anyone treat him so kindly, tenderly. As if he was so fragile he’d break under his grasp. He remembers crying beneath him, his gaze smooth and patient as he was moved to his lap. Now, he felt strong arms hold him closely — not too tight or too loose, just secure enough that Diluc felt safe. A faint groan was heard behind him, hands smoothing over his warm skin. The bed dipped behind him, tucking the blanket over his shoulder and leaning over him to close the curtains further.

“Thoma?” His voice was hoarse, the damage his crying had done was yet to heal, his whimpers and cries through the night only making his voice more fragile.

“I didn’t wake you did I?” Blonde eyebrows worried, pinched in between as his hair dripped over his shoulder. Turning over to fully face him, Diluc found his emerald eyes comforting. Thoma’s wide eyes had him wondering how long he had been awake.

“No…” he shook his head. Once he caught himself staring, his face caught on fire. Averting his gaze, his eyes landed on the marks he left behind last night; surely he had just as many, if not more.

“Are you alright? I wasn’t too rough with you last night, was I? I hope I didn’t over do it.” Thoma sat more comfortably on his heels, hand hesitantly resting against his abdomen while Diluc wanted to scream into his pillow.

“N-no. My voice still hurts and I haven’t bothered with trying to move yet.”

“Alright, I’ll make you something warm for your voice. Do you have any Tylenol? Ibuprofen?”

“Yeah, th-the medicine cabinet,” he rasped, “in my bathroom.” Thoma smiled, whispering a quiet “alright” before gliding across the room and to the small bathroom. While he was away, Diluc tried his best to sit up, to move, something, but his body was far too exhausted and had collapsed back down to the bed with a frustrated huff.

“So you put the flowers I gave you on your dining table?” Thoma smiled, his signature smile that made Diluc’s heart flutter in his chest.

“Y-yeah… Weren’t they expensive? Someone told me they were dark night roses.” He shuffled beneath the sheets.

“They weren’t cheap, but I felt you would’ve liked them,” he grinned, setting the tea on the bedside table with pain meds, toast and a small glass of water, “Let me get you clothes?”

“Uh, yeah. Sweaters are in my closet and I should have sweat pants in my dresser.” Thoma was rather diligent in aftercare last night, and even now he worked to ensure Diluc was safe.

“Did you enjoy yesterday? The date and everything?”

“Oh yes…yeah it was amazing. Thank you Thoma.”

“Of course. A friend of mine kinda urged me to finally ask you out.” He laughed, his voice sweet as he held the smooth material of the large sweater and sweats in his hands, “I guess I got on her nerves after I met you at the club the first night, I ended up talking about you a lot.” he chuckled, embarrassed to admit the crush he had on the bartender when Kaeya had introduced him to his brother.

“Course, I didn’t want you to think I just wanted a quick fuck so I figured a date would be nice and then we could’ve just gone from there. Not that I minded last night, don’t get me wrong, I loved it, well, I loved all of yesterday, not just the fucking…you…part. I’m sorry, I’m starting to ramble aren’t I?” He ranted, eyes wide as he looked away, scratching at his neck.

“What I’m trying to say is I really enjoyed getting to spend time with you yesterday. I’m also glad you allowed me the privilege of sleeping with you too.” His smile was calm and genuine. He was quite the charmer, despite his clumsy, but rather cute, speech — Thoma had a way with words.

“I enjoyed yesterday too Thoma, thank you.” A comfortable silence filled the room as Thoma handed him his clothes.

“Right…I should probably shower. I could go and get you coffee if you want?”

“No, no need. Thank you though.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah, of course.” Scarlet eyes watched almost intensely as Thoma carded thoughtfully through Diluc’s clothes, eyeing sizes and colors, what looked comfortable.

“Do you have classes today?” Diluc muttered, shamefully hoping he didn’t. His skin itched for him to come back, to lay next to him beneath the soft blankets and warmth the bed had to offer. The day could wait just this once for him, could it not?

“No, not that I know of.”

“Would you like to stay?” This wasn’t a question but a silent plea. He watched carefully as his shoulders relaxed.

“If you’ll let me, yes.” He smiled softly, hand on the bathroom door. With a smile and nod, a sudden heat creeped down Diluc’s neck, his ears burning as he shifted in the bed.

“Could you get a warm wash cloth for me please? I’m still a little bit of a mess…” Thoma’s cheeks flushed, darkening as he stuttered out a reply. Stumbling through the bathroom, he returned with a damp wash cloth, by Diluc’s side.

“Here, let me,” his voice wavered in embarrassment as he slowly started with the other’s face, dark lashes fluttering close as he relaxed. Though it wasn’t a proper bath, it was still enough to get his aching muscles to relax. Looking at Thoma, his eyes studied the concentration along his features before they trailed over the markings and bruises he left behind last night in appreciation. He had only skimmed over them earlier but now they looked perfect as his neck moved.

“Diluc? Are you alright?” The blonde panicked, hand jolting away for a moment.

“Yeah why?”

“You whimpered, I thought I hurt you, are you sure you’re okay?” He…he whimpered? His ears started to burn once it clicked. It was too early in the morning for this.

“Yes I’m fine, give me the rag and go take a shower so you can come back to bed.” He huffed, taking the rag from his hand and shooing him away.

Correction: Thoma’s 23! @chilucult ‘s College AU

Diluc has severe Trauma/Childe also has severe trauma, Thoma helps show what a healthy romantic relationship actually is

Diluc’s an ambivert — after he gets comfortable with Thoma and Childe, they both see how affectionate he actually is even when his love language flips a lot. Typically he’s not super cuddly or super talkative about how much he loves them and it’s always subtle but they appreciate it either way

Extra Cuddles!

Only reason why Diluc has “no relationship experience” is bc of his trauma and it’s why he’s traumatized.

Childe tries to say he’s 6’1” but Thoma always has a ruler on him bc he’s 6’3”.

Swimmer Childe.

Childe’s Major: Marine Biology

Thoma’s Major: The pet vet thingy, idk i’m tired

Diluc’s Major: Mixology at a different college before he transferred to the current college and is now studying criminology!
