Warning for alcohol

Kaeya Alberich

  • He’s a huge tease, but we already know that, don’t we?
  • However, he is also very perceptive. Kaeya will pay close attention to your well-being and how you react to things he does; if he catches you seriously disliking anything he will stop immediately and make sure you feel better as soon as possible.
  • Despite his flirty nature, it took him a while to find someone (you) and he actually only ever flirted with others. You’re probably his first partner.
  • That doesn’t mean that he has no idea how a relationship works though. Again, he is very perceptive, he’s seen how things work and how they don’t and what he should and shouldn’t do.
  • Is touchy and takes his time to be affectionate with you. Most of the time he’s the big spoon, but ocassionally he snuggles onto your chest, wanting you to caress his hair.
  • Sometimes just starts to whisper the sweetest compliments into your ear
  • Nicknames you things like Fine Lady, Boy Toy, Kitten, Gold and Treasure, the last two being jokes on the pirate grandpa situation. In general, a lot of the pet names Kaeya gives to you seem a bit unpersonal and like the basic smug daddy stuff, but he really does love you and you know that. These names, aside from serving the purpose of teasing you, come from heart.
  • Hugs you from behind a lot. He likes to surprise you with random displays of his affection.
  • Kaeya might have to leave early in the morning to follow his duties as a Cavalry Captain, but that doesn’t mean he won’t cook you some breakfast. He also lets you sleep as long as you want to, especially because he usually takes you to the taverns with him.
  • He also makes sure you won’t drink too much and never gets too drunk himself.
  • Speaking of taverns; you actually get along with Diluc pretty well, to everyone’s surprise. He probably was the first one Kaeya told about your relationship. Now he’s showing you off, though.
  • He steals a lot of kisses, even in public. Preferably on your lips or neck. Also pulls you close to him when you kiss, holding onto you tightly.
  • The knights are super supportive of your relationship, Jean and Amber appreciate your presence, Lisa teases you about it by asking slightly uncomfortable questions and don’t get me started about Klee. The little girl loves you, talking to you and the fact that Kaeya brings you with him every now and then.

Tartaglia

  • Childe is incredibly affectionate, especially at home. Loves cuddling with you and always wants you to be near him.
  • Dating Childe lowkey feels like you’re dating Zhongli as well. Not in the actual romance aspect, he’s just sort of always sticking around, but you don’t mind as he’s pretty nice and if you and Childe wanted more space, he’d give that to you.
  • Childe goes out with you a lot; be it nice restaurants or just sitting somewhere outside and enjoying yourself.
  • It’s important to him that you get along with his family—and you do, very well, even.
  • You love how he treats his family and how important they’re all to him. And you’re very glad to be a part of it now.
  • Speaking of which, Tartaglia is also very devoted to you. He does treat you well and babies you a lot.
  • When he stumps his toe, he starts whining like a little baby but when he’s actually injured or sick, Childe acts like he’s perfectly fine. Though you won’t let him get out of bed in such situations.
  • He really doesn’t want you to do anything in the household. He wants to cook, he wants to do the laundry, he wants to do it all on his own so you can relax.
    Jokes on him, you’re scared he’ll overwork himself with that, so you forcefully do some of the chores by yourself.
  • Tartaglia is super scared your relationship will hurt you, so he’s really protective of you and always lays an eye on you.
  • Oh, he also loves to give you nicknames, but his are more out of the “simp”, classical and companion categories, such as Prince(ss), Comrade, My Love, Darling and so on.
    Not that he forgot about calling you Girlie when you first met. Sometimes, he does a little throwback to that because he likes remembering every moment he spent with you.
  • To be honest, he showers you in affection and compliments and is also a little playful.
  • He really does take you everywhere, just to protect you. And because he likes being close to you a lot.

Xingqiu

  • Even though he loves to snuck out of home, he’ll always let you know where he is.
  • Xingqiu’s love language is very gentleman-like, to say the least.
  • He loves kissing the back of your hand, your cheeks, head or forehead or just. All over your pretty little face.
  • Lets your head rest on his lap while he’s reading and carefully stroking your hair. He loves these small little gestures. They might be subtle, yet show a lot in his opinion.
  • In public, he’s a lot less affectionate but still can’t hold back from stealing some little kisses or intertwining your arms elegantly.
  • Xingqiu’s very classic—you’re guessing right if you think he got that from his books.
  • This young man loves a little adventure, so the two of you always meet up somewhere outside at night or he asks you to snuck into his house. Through the window, preferably.
    You then cuddle, read together or exchange little displays of affection.
  • He can be a bit shy, but sometimes he’s also really playful and a bit daring.
  • He prefers formal and classic nicknames, like My Lady/Lord, My Heart’s Desire, Darling, My Love and of course My Liege. The latter is for more playful times.
  • Likes to take you out on book shop or library dates, gifts you flowers and loves to take walks with you.
  • Chongyun is also with you a lot. He was wary of you at first, but now he likes you and is pretty happy that Xingqiu has found someone like you for himself.
  • You think it’s totally adorable when Xingqiu rambles about his books.
  • He also teaches you how to read his handwriting and is very fascinated by yours.
  • He would love to travel around with you (and Chongyun), but unfortunately he’s prohibited to do so. Maybe somewhen in the future.
