— a little summary: how would they break your heart?
a/n: i was feeling a little bit sad today
diluc
- “youll leave me too, just like everyone else”
- he lost so many people already, he doesnt want to loose you too
- especially when he notices his feelings for you
- he cant, he wont, go through the pain again
- he decides its easier to end it here and now to spare himself from potentially getting hurt again
- he doesnt even want to try, your arguments falling death on his ears
- “stop it. dont promise me youll stay when you dont know that”
jean
- “for mondstadt, as always”
- even if she would like to commit, she cant
- her body and mind, heart and soul — they all belong to mondstadt, the city of freedom
- (how ironic, you think to yourself — the grand master could not allow herself to be free, to do what she wants to do)
- even though she doesnt want to break your heart, she knows she has to
- (it doesnt mean that it doesnt hurt though — you can see the pain in her eyes)
- “im sorry. the city always comes first — i cant allow myself to be selfish.”
kaeya
- “you dont know anything”
- he never really lets you come close to him; he hides too many secrets and parts of himself that he can never show you
- he toys with the idea of falling in love, but he knows its not something he can afford and it pains him; he already loves you so much
- he doesnt want you to be with someone that cant give you all of themselves
- he feels as if his love for you is fake because hes not being completely honest with you
- hes rude to you, because he believes it will be better if you hate him, because thats what he deserves
- (it still hurts him when he sees pain in your eyes because of him, of his words. its for the better, he repeats to himself)
- “do you think i told you everything? that i was completely honest? darling, i didnt think you were so naive”
xiao
- “you deserve someone better”
- he doesnt believe hes worthy
- he thinks hes tainting you; making you dirty with his past and karmic debt
- he thinks that you deserve someone else, even though you assure him that hes the one
- he tells himself youll be better off without him, leading up to him deciding to part ways
- (for your good, he tells himself)
- “how could someone like you possibly want to be with someone like me?”
