Adore (Genshin impact Fem!Reader Insert)

Someone from the... Im nobody.

✧・ﾟ:* ♡ *:・ﾟ✧

I clamped a hand over my mouth when I said that.

Sweating, I realized I had said it aloud.
Going a few shades of red in the face.
It was odd being so flustered over a comment like this.
Especially when I've said worse.
But what was I thinking!?

"AHA! Hahaha!" My hand flew to scratch the back of my head as if I was trying to take out all the impurities that were going through my mind.
"Sorry- I know I don't have a filter... hehe.. haa...

Just why was I apologizing to this stranger!? Hell, even Paimon and Aether were at a loss for words.
Was what I said really that embarrassing?

Though, for Aether, he may have thought differently, if that were the case.

"Odd. Paimon just had a weird sense of Deja Vu!"
Whilst floating in the air, Paimon brought a hand up to her lip, tapping it curiously and squinting in my general direction.
Now that really was strange, cause for some reason, I could say the same.

Had we... had this conversation before?

And just why was Aether looking at me like that? It didn't look like any of the looks he's ever given me in the past whenever I accidentally or intentionally flirted with someone else.
No, the look on his face showed genuine mild horror, as if he's seen something he'd never noticed before.

Stupidly, My hand started tapping around my face.
"What! What!? Is there something on my face!?"

I freaked out too, thinking it might be some large ass spider or bug, seeing as how we were in the forest.

That or it could have been some sort of leaf or another forestry thing, I dunno!

"Augh! Don't scare me blonde! I can deal with bugs, but not when they're on me!"
I scolded him heavily while I calmed my breathing. He had yet to say anything while I glowered at the ground in annoyance.

"Whatever, what are we still doing here!?" I questioned out loud, throwing my hands up into the air in a frantic manner. "We should really start heading back to Liyue. Lady Ganyu is waiting for our report!" My voice came out a little bit too dreamily as I swayed my hips lightly. That's right. Ganyu would want to know everything that happened in the ruins today-

"Please wait a moment."

My heart jumped out of my chest the second I heard this new voice.
Screeching a little, I swiveled my head in the direction from which this silky, brooding voice had come from, immediately going red at what I saw.

It was a tall, blond man, with an odd getup, standing next to Aether, an outstretched hand towards me.

Where did he come from!? And...

"Why are you so-"

"I would like to know... the details of what you encountered inside the ruins."

He had harshly cut off what I was going to say, making me jolt in place.
Good thing that he did... I was about to say something embarrassing.

"I ah- Ahaha.."

✧・ﾟ:* ♡ *:・ﾟ✧

'It's getting worse..."

The girl seemed to forget all about Dainsleifs presence when she turned around. It was as if he disappeared completely from her worldview, if only for but a few mere seconds.

But that was what made it so chilling.

"Agh, (y/n) stop playing these dumb games. Even Paimon can't keep up with your weirdness!"
