Once he sees the sight of a singular bed in a room that the two of you had to stay in the whole night, the idea that the two of you will be sharing it flusters him. Is he really going to share a bed with you? Never in his wildest dreams will he even imagine of being in the same bed as you (in the context of just sleeping in it). He tries to hide his shyness and embarrassment by talking quite a lot—“It was such a tiring day. Oh hey, there’s only one bed here.” paired with a nervous chuckle, he says. He wouldn’t sleep immediately, maybe he’ll do something for a little bit but he wouldn’t sleep immediately. He’ll wait for you until you do so and if you ever invite him to just come to the bed already so he can get the rest that he needs, he will (not before hesitating) but will only sit on the edge while his back is facing you because he doesn’t know if he can face you properly with his cheeks completely flustered and his eyes darting all over the place, not able to remain still. Archons, what is he supposed to do?

Thoma, Kaveh, Itto, Heizhou

He immediately becomes a gentleman, seemingly knowing what to do as soon as he sees there’s only one bed—he’ll be sleeping on the floor instead while you take the bed. He wouldn’t hesitate in doing so as long as you’re comfortable and satisfied in your sleep, he wouldn’t mind sacrificing a bit just for your own happiness, after all. It will take him quite a lot of convincing and talking just so you could urge him to just sleep besides you and share the bed with him—you won’t mind it really as he doesn’t seem to be the type of person that would be horrible to sleep together with (probably no snores and not much of a movement). He’ll get on the bed, on your side but not too close as he maintains a distance, and he’ll sit instead of laying down—“I am not sleepy yet.”—and he will choose to either talk and tell you stories that he has heard from when he was a kid or from the people around or he will choose to remain in silence, choosing to enjoy the sound of the leaves rustling outside and the quiet hum of the evening breeze, as he waits for you to drift off to sleep.

cuddling and spooning

KAVEH — “you’re so warm, i adore you so much—i love you,” he says to you as he cuddles you in his arms, lips spread out to form a smile as he looks at you with so much emotion and tenderness in his eyes—He loves so many things about you, from the smile that you show him upon seeing him, your eyes that shows each and every single one of your emotions, your hair that flutters against the summer wind, from your hands that holds his in every moment, and to your warmth especially when the two of you are close to each other; perhaps that’s why he loves cuddling with you so much because he could get to feel you so close, so intimate, against him as he relishes in the warmth being emitted. Aside from the fact that he gets to have you in the comfort of his arms and body, he gets to bury his face on the crown of your head, inhaling and taking in your scent, It makes him feel real, in a way that it also feels not, like a dream, like a lullaby that gently lulls him to sleep.

comparing hand sizes

ALHAITHAM — If there’s something, something that he loves to do even if it’s just a simple and insignificant thing, something that feels like you could just easily brush off and think of as nothing, it’s comparing the size of his hands to yours—whether subtly through just holding your hand in his and feeling how small yours feel around his own or outright by holding out his palm and making an initiation to place yours against it so that he could compare. Unexplainable, however, he loves seeing the vast difference between your hands and teasing you about it, witnessing the reactions that you make as you banter and respond to him. Though it’s not just the simple act of comparing hands that he loves but also the feeling of your warmth against his, so soft, so small, so gentle as if fire in a fireplace in one cold evening, its flames moving slowly like a motion of dancing.

xiao

kisses with xiao lie within the mundane, everyday moments. a kiss when you wake up. a kiss when you go to sleep. a kiss as you cook breakfast. a kiss as you cook dinner. a kiss in passing. as ironic as it sounds, xiao doesn't enjoy showing physical affection that much.

zhongli

kisses with zhongli are more intentional – a simple, sweet kiss planted on your cheek as you slouch into his frame, melting into his embrace. a kiss to say more than just "i love you": a kiss to say that he would always be there.

kaeya

kisses with kaeya are long and filled with things inbetween. your head is nestled in the crook of his neck, and the two of you stay like that for a while. his thumb guides your chin up to gaze into his eyes once again, planting a kiss to your forehead.

diluc

kisses with diluc are most often found before you go to sleep. he stays there, spooning you and letting you soak in the comfort of his embrace. diluc presses a kiss to your cheek, wrapping his arms around your body again.

childe

kisses with childe are in everything – mostly at the highs, but there are times when it is commonly found at the lows as well. childe is there to press a celebratory kiss to your forehead when you get that promotion at work... but he is also there to press a kiss of comfort when someone you hold dear has passed on.

alhaitham

kisses with alhaitham are one-in-a-million – please treasure it, for they aren't his preferred method of showing love. alhaitham tucks you into his chest and lifts your chin up, giving you a simple kiss as he tells you how proud he is of you.

kaveh

kisses with kaveh are common, because kaveh likes kisses. he loves the aspect of holding you tightly for seconds, melting and leaning into the hug as he kisses you once, then twice, then thrice.

xiao – acts of service

love, to xiao, is serving you. whatever you want, he will provide – at what cost, he doesn't know. please explain to him the concept of boundaries, even though he insists that when it comes to you, he doesn't need one. he trusts that you will not cross any line.

zhongli – words of affirmation

love, to zhongli, is affirming you through gentle words. "i'm proud of you, (y/n)", is a phrase that can most frequently be heard falling from his lips, the corners of them lifting upwards into a reassuring, comforting smile. trust zhongli to come through with the right words – he knows exactly when you need it.

kaeya – gifts giving

love, to kaeya, is leaving small trinkets on your desk. be it a bracelet – or a hand-pressed bookmark – or a bunch of sweet flowers he gathered on an expedition – kaeya kisses each one and lets the image of you in his mind burn itself into each gift. each and every one is for you.

diluc – quality time

love, to diluc, is setting aside time for you. he takes time off from the dawn winery twice a month to spend the whole day with you, walking from wolvendom to cape oath and setting down the picnic blanket on the cliff. he woke up early in the morning to pack food for this trip.

childe – physical affection

love, to childe, is intimate affection with you. he rubs the back of your hand with his thumb; and cradles your head into the crook of his neck; his frame engulfing you in a hug when the two of you meet. a kiss to the forehead, your hands immediately intertwining – a common sight.

♡ daydreamin' ♡

-> Their mind wanders off to you, what are they thinking about?

lyneira's 1.2k milestone event

They're thinking about...

...coming home to you

Alhaitham, Kazuha, Kaveh, Baizhu, Tighnari

He thinks of how fortunate he is as he's able to come home after a long day to finally see you. You lift his spirits. He could be having a horrible day, but knowing how you'd always be there to comfort him is motivation enough. He'd walk through the door and you'd be there, welcoming him with open arms like you always do. Those hugs were the best. The warmth and tenderness given in them told him that he was safe and cared for, that he was home. Because to him, you're his home.

...a future with you

Childe, Ayato, Zhongli, Diluc, Thoma, Dainsleif

He's imagining how it would be like waking up by your side everyday, seeing you in numerous ways, going through the good times and bad times together, maybe having little ones of your own, growing old with you, and going through whatever life has to offer. He can't wait for it.

For guys like Zhongli and Dainsleif, the future is actually a bittersweet thing to think about. Sometimes, it scares him thinking how you might not be there with him for the remainder of his life. But he relishes in the fact that he was able to spend whatever time he has with you now, for it's much better than having not known you at all. And he'll protect and cherish both you and the lives you two create for as long as he can.

...how much they've fallen for you

Scaramouche, Kaeya, Xiao, Albedo, Cyno

He thinks of your smile, your laugh, your voice, your touch, and it has him smiling to himself subconsciously.

They've never felt this way for anyone before, and when he thinks of you, he feels funny. Not a bad type of 'funny'. He feels vulnerable. Warm. Tingly all over. Heck, he's feeling this way just thinking about you right now. They're all feelings he isn't used to, but he's hooked on it like a drug.

When he's around you, he might try to hide this effect you had on him, out of fear that he might just crumble in front of you. He was just truly down bad for you.

If only you knew how much you made this guy weak in the knees for ya 😤

...surprising you

Venti, Heizou, Itto, Gorou

They want to do something special for you, so they're thinking of ways to surprise you the next time they see you.

Should they buy you your favorite flowers? Cook your favorite dish? Tell you a clever joke? Sing you your favorite song? Maybe take you to a secret place with the most magnificent view? They're exciting themselves with these great ideas that they think, 'heck why not do them all?'

What else could he do to see that beautiful smile he loves so much? Because that's all he really wanted. To see you happy. Your smile brings him the most joy, and he'll do anything to make it happen and protect it.
