Chapter Text
ZHONGLI
- Tbh, he’s got a slight sense of pride
- He’s confident in your abilities
- He knows that you’re capable
- You can take care of yourself in a fight, and he’s proud of u
- That said
- He is also mildly concerned?
- He doesn’t enjoy seeing you get hurt on the rare occasion when it happens
- He also doesn’t verbalize this
- Or express it at all, really
- After all, it isn’t too much of a concern for him
- So he watches your back from the sidelines
- Just in case
- And of course
- He will fight at your side
- He may also lecture you on fighting techniques of old
- Like
- While you’re fighting
- Which would be annoying if it was anyone else
- But he’s got the voice to make it work
- And he’s cute, so
- He gets away with it
- He also points out that specific things that you do while fighting have a historical precedence
- Which is always neat
- Maybe not so neat while you’re fighting, but oh well
- Zhongli will also tell you fun facts about your weapon
- Anyway, once you’re done fighting he’s like
- A little bit playful
- Tells you you did a good job
- You fight good lmao
- He’ll also check you over for injuries
- And he’s so subtle about it that you don’t even notice
- It’s like he can see through you, it’s wild
- You kinda love it
- Especially because when he’s done, he’ll offer you his arm and take you out for food
- (say thank you to childe and/or hu tao, bc you know zhongli isn’t actually paying lmao)
BEIDOU
- She’s so into it
- She loves watching you fight! She loves seeing how strong you are
- Every hit you make, every strike, every movement
- It all makes her more excited
- She’s basically bouncing up and down, it’s adorable
- She’ll absolutely cheer you on
- And!
- She’ll absolutely fight beside you
- She loves fighting with you
- She loves that you have each other’s backs
- If you’re in a fight, she will 100% jump in with you, she isn’t afraid to do so, she’s your fuckin partner in romance and on the battle field
- And she will kiss you mid-fight if you let her
- It’s fantastic, it’s cute, we stan
- Also
- She’s not kidding with that voice line about trading tactics
- She’s always ready to teach you things, and/or to learn from you
- And!
- She’s almost always ready and willing to spar with you
- To keep your skills sharp!
- There’s no other reason
- It’s definitely not because she gets a kick out of pinning you to the ground and watching you blush while she teases you, nooooooooooooooooooooooo
- She may also want you to step on her? Idk, more research needs to be done
- Anyway
- This one is a bit unrelated, but
- She also loves to take you drinking after you fight
- It’s a celebration of your mutual badassery!
- Also it’s just
- Fun
- She likes drinking with you, even when it isn’t after a fight
- And speaking of post-fight activities
- Your girl will quickly check you over for injuries before you go anywhere
- She’s got a keen eye, too, so don’t bother trying to hide your dramatic side injury, she’ll see it
- And she’ll whisk you off to the nearest doctor, picking you up with her pirate lady strength
- You don’t have a choice, you’re seeing a doctor
- And then you can have your alcohol of choice
- It’s sweet though, she’ll hold your hand, we love to see it
KAEYA
- Watches you.
- With great interest.
- See, he’s trying to keep up his whole
- Funky mystery man appearance on the outside
- But on the inside?
- He’s lying on his stomach, on his bed, kicking his legs back and forward, doodling his first name with your last name in glitter gel pen
- You’re
- You’re kind of his poor little meow meow
- Badass and murder-y, but he’s into it
- So yeah
- Whenever you fight
- He just watches you with full heart eyes
- You are the best thing he’s ever seen
- But he won’t tell you that
- Idk what it is, he’s just secretive about it
- He’ll also back you up in a fight if you need it
- Which you rarely do, so he rarely does
- But that’s another thing he’s watching for
- For any time you need his help
- Anyway
- After you’re done with your fight, he never fails to come over and say somethin kinda snarky
- It’s a compliment, don’t get me wrong
- He’s just a little shit about it
- “Wow, (Y/N), you really can take care of yourself”
- “Not bad, not bad at all,” but in a slightly surprised tone, because he likes irritating you for fun
- Anyway, while kaeya is being a dick
- He also checks to make sure you’re okay
- He tries to be subtle about it because he has a reputation to maintain
- But he’s
- Not
- Subtle
- At all
- In the slightest
- It’s almost funny tbh
- And it is very cute
- He just circles you like a damn vulture, checking you over for injuries
- To anyone else, it looks like he’s judging you
- But you know it’s something else
- And even if you didn’t, he would make sure you knew by checking you over properly once the two of you get home
DILUC
- He.
- Does.
- Not.
- Enjoy.
- It.
- He’s so concerned for your safety holy shit
- Like
- He knows you can take care of yourself
- He knows you’re competent, capable
- He knows you have the skills necessary to win most fights
- But accidents can happen
- More than accidents, anything can happen
- You could come across an opponent that’s stronger than you
- You could slip in the rain
- You could fall onto a sword (yours or someone else’s, it doesn’t matter)
- You could run into a gang of 50 abyss mages and get your shit wrecked
- Anything and everything could go wrong and he Doesn’t. Like. It.
- And i mean
- He has his reasons
- Y’know who else was competent and could take care of themselves?
- HIS DAD
- AND HIS DAD DIED
- So pls forgive him for being concerned about you
- That said
- He has no control over whether or not you fight
- He isn’t your parent, he isn’t your legal guardian, he isn’t your boss, he has no control over you
- He’ll try to prevent it
- But, i mean, you live in teyvat
- It’s kind of inevitable
- And there’s only so much he can do to keep you safe, anyway
- Especially if you’re the type who enjoys fighting
- So
- When you do fight
- Which you do
- He’s always ready to back you up
- Just say the word, and he’s at your side, helping you kick ass and take names
- He also makes sure you’re okay after
- And, unlike kaeya, he doesn’t even try to be subtle
- He’s all over you, checking for injuries
- Asking if you’re okay
- He takes your face in his hands and presses F to examine
- It’s almost funny how meticulous he is
- And it’s most definitely sweet
- He just wants you to be okay gdi
ITTO
- Holy FUCK he’s so into it
- He loves watching you fight
- So much
- Whereas kaeya actively tries to hide heart eyes, itto
- Doesn’t give a shit
- He’ll adore and admire you loudly and no one can stop him
- Watching you fight just sparks a sense of pride in him
- Like
- Look at you!!
- You’re his partner!!
- And you’re a fucking badass!!
- Whenever you fight he becomes the embodiment of those “that’s my wife/husband/spouse!!!” memes
- He’s so proud, it’s not even funny
- And
- Unlike some others on this list
- He will tell you that he’s proud of you
- Both during the fight, and after
- He wants you to know that you did a good job, and that he loves you
- Even if you lose, he’s still proud
- It’s very comforting to know, honestly, that even if you fail, he’ll always be proud
- Anyway
- Fun fact about itto: He will, 100%, cheer you on
- He doesn’t care if you’re fighting a hilichurl or kujo sara herself, he will cheer you on, and he will be cute about it
- Fucker will make you laugh in the middle of a battle while you’re trying not to get hit and you can’t even get mad at him
- He’s too pretty for that
- Another fun fact: watching you fight kinda gets his competitive side going
- And it’s not that he wants to fight you!
- He doesn’t want to fight you!
- No
- He’s on your team
- And what he wants
- Is for your team
- To kick the other team’s ass
- It’s delightful
- And it adds on to the cheering
- And
- If you let Itto fight with you?
- HOOOOOO BOY
- This mf will show off so much
- He’ll go all out if it’s for you
- Honestly, he might just end up carrying you through the fight? Either way, it’s a good time
- (and i mean, kinda does it because he wants you to be proud of him, so there you go)
- And if the situation is more serious and calls for less showboating, itto can still help you take care of things, he’s just a bit more serious about it
- He still makes puns and jokes tho
- Anyway
- When it comes to the end of a fight
- Itto is,,, less careful when it comes to checking you over
- He kinda just gives you a once over, and if nothing appears seriously wrong, he’ll just keep talking to you
- So if you get a dramatic injury in an easy to conceal place, please tell him
- It’s not that he doesn’t care, he just
- Trusts you to tell him lmao
THOMA
- Ok, listen
- He isn’t as concerned as diluc, but he is concerned
- He knows you can take care of yourself, and he trusts you to do so
- But he knows accidents happen, and he wants you to be careful
- And honestly?
- Whenever/if ever he asks you to be careful
- He’s so nice about it that you actually start to be more careful
- You just feel bad putting yourself in danger
- Damn it, thoma, now who’s gonna make the heroic sacrifice?
- Not you, that’s for sure
- Anyway
- Since thoma is more chill about you fighting
- He will encourage you!
- Like itto and beidou, he’ll cheer you on!
- He knows you can win whatever fight you’re in, and he wants to make sure you know that, too!
- He’s so soft for you, it’s adorable
- Now
- Even though he has faith in your abilities
- There are times when you need him to back you up
- When you need him to watch your back
- And he is always down for that
- He’ll make little jokes with you while you’re in the middle of a battle
- Is it the right time? Not really, but you don’t mind, because you love thoma and his jokes
- And he loves you right back!
- So much so that he might get distracted by watching you fight
- Because, y’know
- It’s hot
- He might try to be subtle about it, but he can’t really hide the awe on his face
- Nor can he tear his eyes from your figure as you cut down your opponents
- Actually
- Please watch his back while he’s watching your back
- He’ll get so distracted by you that he might get hit, and no one wants that
- The Kamisato estate would grind to a halt without him :(
- Anyway
- After a fight, he’ll definitely check you over for injuries
- He doesn’t try to be subtle
- He just checks you over, gently
- Looking over your limbs
- His hands run gently up and down your arms
- And his fingers interlocking with yours
- Anyway
- If you are injured, he’ll get help
- And if it’s something he can help with, he absolutely will
- He’s very soft with you, and he might even crack a joke about how you need to be more careful
- And then
- When he’s done
- He takes your face in his hands
- And just
- Squints at you for a second
- And when you ask what’s up he just
- Pokes you
- Says “boop”
- And laughs
- The auDACITY
- Jk, it’s cute
- And maybe you get a kiss as an apology, you don’t know
CHILDE
- …
- We all know exactly what i’m about to say
- If beidou, kaeya, and itto are into you fighting
- Then childe is
- He’s more than into it
- He sees you in a fight and he just gets ecstatic
- He’ll cheer you on, he’ll call out strategies
- And he’ll watch you with fierce intensity
- Like
- This boy is biting his lip watching the way your body moves as you fight off the enemy
- There is little hotter to him than you covered in someone else’s blood, victorious after a fight
- He’s so into it, it’s not even funny
- There are no jokes i can make
- He’s just into it
- And he isn’t really concerned for your safety
- Of course he doesn’t want you to get hurt, but y’know
- He trusts your skills
- And he trusts that if something bad happened, you’d tell him
- And the matter would be dealt with swiftly
- Besides, if/whenever you’re in danger, he’ll usually hop in the fight with you
- He likes watching you fight, but he likes fighting at your side even more
- Honestly, it’s part of how he flirts
- It’s almost like a dance, really
- The way the two of you move together on the battlefield
- You know each other well enough to stay coordinated
- You can basically predict what the other person will do next and plan accordingly
- It’s a beautiful sight
- And a scary one
- The two of you together are a terrifying team, and he knows this
- And he loves it
- He’ll also cheer you on during the fight
- He’ll tell you you’re doing an amazing job
- He’ll tell you you look hot
- Cute shit like that
- Once the fight is over, he checks you over for injuries
- And he’s usually pretty casual about it unless the fight was more intense
- But generally
- He just spins you in a little circle
- Or like
- Spins a circle around you
- And makes sure you’re unharmed
- And once he’s sure
- He kisses you (passionately) and compliments the way you kick ass
- Honestly
- He kinda wants you to kick his ass
- Speaking of which
- Like beidou
- Childe will absolutely spar with you
- Honestly, he’ll do it more than beidou
- It’s another way that he flirts
- He just likes the feeling of his blood pumping through his veins, rushing as he goes to counter your attack
- And no matter who wins
- No matter who comes out on top (literally)
- It’s always a victory for him
