Summary
"Dei—!"
Mydei can't stop the smile from churning up on his face, as his husband's whiny voice echoes from his phone.
"It can't be helped, Deliverer." He casually responds in return as he slips out of the taxi and walks straight into the hospital's front lobby. "Just accept it already."
"But I want to be there!"
.
Due to an unforeseen situation, Phainon is unable to accompany him to his monthly obgyn appointment and has been very vocal about his displeasure.
But of course, this is Phainon. A man who has faithfully, reliably, and steadfastly been on his side at every turn of his pregnancy—
"What if our child accuses me of being unattentive later on?" Phainon frantically peeps out.

Summary
Returning to the Flagship and lending Flins his clothes is definitely done out of pure intention. He's genuinely trying to take care of the fae and he has long learned that it's in Flins' nature to be quite mischievous, but...
With the calmness and the elegant grace of a smug cat, the ratnik turns his head and looks up at him with a pleased, challenging smile on his face.
“As I said before, you’re a very warm and comfortable chair.” Flins shrugs. "One hundred percent recommended for a wet and cold fae."
.
(A disbelieving bark of laughter automatically escapes Varka at the bold move.)
(But even then, affection seeps out of him as he pats and strokes the side of Flins’ head, before sliding to the fae's temple and rubbing it slowly.)Series

Summary
“I’m leaving tomorrow.”
Flins feels his entire body immediately go into a standstill. A part of him wonders if Varka was joking with how casually he announced it, but there’s none of the usual playfulness that gleams in those blue eyes and—
Oh.
He’s serious.
“So soon?” Flins calmly asks despite the thundering blaze in his flame.
(So sudden?)
.
Flins knows it will happen sooner or later, as Varka doesn’t originally belong in Nod-Krai. Moreover, separation and goodbye are common for long-lived beings like him, but…
Why does it hurt so?
(He doesn't see Varka off.)

Summary
Flins accidentally slips into the sea, and Varka is there to lift him up.
(Also, perhaps they flirt more than they should.)

Summary
Zhongli supposes this sense of blandness is part of his retirement life, but he soon finds his routine gets disrupted by a young child, who has audaciously and bravely demanded one thing.
“You must apologize to the Eleventh Harbinger!”
Not only does this child manage to disturb his peaceful days, she also stirs something within him with her brazen questions.
"Is what you had with Lord Tartaglia truly a feeling born out of routine and habit, instead of something more pure and genuine?"
.
(but at what cost?)

Summary
“You just need to show up and have dinner together!” Nobara insisted.
“Aren’t there any other ways? Surely getting a sugar daddy isn’t the only option.”
“He isn’t a sugar daddy! Uh… I guess he kinda is?”
Megumi bit his lower lip, in utter denial, considering the three of them only wanted to go on a trip but didn’t have enough cash to survive.
Megumi has two options:
A. Work their ass off on getting more part-time jobs.
B. Work his ass off on getting that money from a simple dinner.Well, the second option might not be that bad.

Summary
“I have lived a very long life, Childe," he murmurs, voice low and soft. “And I do not have what humans may consider a true form of origin. But...this face, and this name, are the ones I hold closest to my heart. After all…”
A small, private smile graces Zhongli's lips.
“This is how I was once known, to the person most dear to me.”
