. . . warnings! none, the genshin men fall for you ! this is getting a little repetitive so if you see no warnings from now on, just know that there are none. thank you!
XIAO has never felt... so enamored over something as foolish as a human.
But the way you smile at him, the way you laugh whenever he's around, the absolute look of adoration that dons your face whenever you catch the very sight of him, it's almost addicting. Your voice is like music to his ears, something that seems to revive him, and it stuns him how such few words can bring him back to life.
And it almost scares Xiao, with how loud his heartbeats have become and how the heat rising on his face has easily become familiar. It unnerves him, because he knows that you are but a mortal, and he is an adeptus, and the two should never mingle. Yet, he can't bring himself to turn away from your warm touch and soothing words, no matter how much he wants to, or tries.
It's a silent night, your head in his lap, him gently stroking your hair while you sleep.
And under the moonlight, his voice is barely a whisper, his eyes shimmering pools of gold:
"I...I think I might be falling in love with you." ♥

CHILDE is well versed in the ways of capturing people's hearts, so imagine his surprise when you manage to sway his.
The fact that you seem to be completely unaware of his feelings, however, is a different topic entirely. You just have the innate ability to make his heart race, even without knowing it! Childe's not even sure whether he should feel impressed or not.
All he really can be sure about is that he's fallen in love. Completely, utterly, and there's likely going to be no way out. He knows that truth, and it rings in his head whenever he can hear his heart pick up its pace as you laugh, or as you smile at him warmly, like he's your favorite person in the world.
Is he?
If you tell him yes, he'll stay by your side for eternity, forever and ever, and never let you go.
"Hm~ You're always so oblivious, aren't you?" Childe gazes longingly at your sleeping form, a half-smile forming on his lips. "It's not fair."
"...I think I might just be falling in love with you." ♥

ZHONGLI is a composed man, and just about no one can refute that.
So why exactly was it that he always found himself stumbling over his own words whenever you appeared? Why was the heat that rose to his face always so passionate?
He wasn't supposed to feel this way, not again, not after what had happened to the one he loved before. He shouldn't hold on, he couldn't hold on to these fleeting feelings, yet his heart ached for something to fill its void, and there you were.
There... there you were.
Those eternal moments between the two of you on warm summer evenings that seemed to last forever, the way you held his hand with such a sparkle in your eyes... all of it made his heart ache for something he couldn't decipher.
"Zhongli, what's wrong? You keep staring off into the distance... you aren't sick, are you?" You glance at the man, worry evident in your gaze.
"Nono, it's nothing..." He smiles reassuringly, before standing up abruptly from where the two of you are resting off the side of the road. "I must go."
"E-Eh? Okay...?"
As he strides away, rounding the corner, he finally falls to the ground, hand over his mouth as his face flares red. "Hah..."
"Archons... I think I might be falling in love with you." ♥
