Diluc x Reader: Flames of Affection

Mondstadt was a city of freedom and the wind, but for you, it had become a city of routine and familiarity. As a new adventurer in town, you had found yourself settling into a pattern of commission work during the day, and evenings spent at the bustling Angel's Share tavern.

One evening, while sipping on your usual order, you noticed Diluc Ragnvindr, the stoic owner of the tavern, casting a few glances your way. He was a man of few words, known more for his quiet presence and striking looks than for idle chatter. Tonight, however, there was something different in his gaze.

"Y/n," he finally spoke, his voice a low rumble that sent a shiver down your spine. "I've noticed you frequenting the tavern quite often. Do you enjoy the ambiance here, or is there something—or someone—that keeps you coming back?"

Caught off guard, you felt a blush creep up your cheeks. "Well, the ambiance is nice, but... the owner isn't too bad either," you replied with a playful smile.

Diluc's usually stern expression softened into a hint of a smile. "I see. Perhaps I should take that as a compliment."

Over the following weeks, you found yourself spending more time at Angel's Share, not just because of the warm atmosphere, but because of Diluc. His rare smiles and fleeting glances had you captivated. One night, after closing, he approached you with an air of determination.

"Y/n, would you accompany me for a walk?" he asked.

The cool night air was a welcome contrast to the warmth of the tavern. As you strolled through the quiet streets of Mondstadt, Diluc spoke more than he ever had before. He told you about his past, his responsibilities, and his hidden desires. You listened, enraptured by his honesty and vulnerability.

"You know," you said, breaking the comfortable silence, "you're quite different from the man everyone sees at the tavern."

Diluc stopped walking and turned to face you, his crimson eyes locking onto yours. "And what do you see when you look at me, Y/n?"

Your heart raced. "I see a man who's strong and brave, but also kind and caring. Someone who's been through a lot but still finds the strength to protect those he loves."

He stepped closer, his hand gently cupping your cheek. "Y/n, you have a way of seeing right through to the heart of things."

Before you could respond, he leaned in, his lips capturing yours in a kiss that was both tender and passionate. The world seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of you in that moment of pure connection.

When you finally pulled away, breathless and with your heart pounding, Diluc's eyes held a warmth you had never seen before. "Y/n, you've brought a light into my life that I didn't know I was missing. Stay by my side. Let's face whatever the future holds together."You smiled, feeling a sense of belonging and love that you had never felt before. "I'd like nothing more, Diluc."
In the days that followed, your relationship with Diluc blossomed. Each evening after the tavern closed, he would find you, and together you would explore the quiet corners of Mondstadt or sit by the fire sharing stories and dreams.

One night, as you sat by the fireplace in the Dawn Winery, Diluc handed you a glass of his finest vintage. "To new beginnings," he toasted, his eyes never leaving yours.

"To new beginnings," you echoed, clinking your glass with his.As you sipped the rich wine, Diluc's hand found yours, his thumb brushing over your knuckles. 

"Y/n, there's something I need to tell you."

Your heart skipped a beat. "What is it?"

He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with a mix of determination and vulnerability. "I've been thinking about us a lot. About what we have and what it could mean. I want you to know that I'm serious about you, about us. I want to build a future together."

Tears welled up in your eyes, overwhelmed by the depth of his feelings. "Diluc, I've never felt this way about anyone before. I want that too. I want to be with you, no matter what."

With a soft smile, he leaned in, capturing your lips in a kiss that was filled with promise and passion. As the fire crackled beside you, you knew that this was where you belonged – in Diluc's arms, with his love warming your heart.

Weeks turned into months, and your bond with Diluc grew stronger with each passing day. One particularly beautiful evening, he invited you to a secluded spot on Starsnatch Cliff, where the view of the night sky was breathtaking.

As you gazed at the stars, Diluc stood behind you, his arms wrapped around your waist. "Y/n, do you know why I brought you here?"

You leaned back into his embrace, feeling the warmth of his body against yours. "Tell me."

"This place has always been special to me. It's where I come to think, to find peace. And now, I want to share it with you," he whispered, his lips brushing against your ear.

You turned to face him, your eyes locking onto his. "Thank you, Diluc. For sharing this with me, for letting me into your world."

He cupped your face in his hands, his eyes filled with love. "You've become my world, Y/n. I can't imagine my life without you."

A mischievous thought crossed your mind, and you couldn't help but grin. "So, you didn't bring me here to push me off the cliff, did you?"

Diluc's eyes widened in surprise before he chuckled, a sound that was rare and delightful. "No, Y/n. I think that would be counterproductive to my plans."

You laughed, the sound echoing in the stillness of the night. "Good to know. I'd hate to have misinterpreted your intentions."

His smile softened as he leaned in, his lips brushing against yours. "My intentions are quite the opposite," he murmured before capturing your lips in a kiss that was filled with love and passion.

The kiss deepened, your bodies pressed together under the blanket of stars. As you finally pulled away, Diluc rested his forehead against yours, his breath warm against your skin. "Y/n, I love you. More than words can say."

"I love you too, Diluc," you whispered, your heart swelling with emotion.

With the stars as your witnesses, you knew that this was just the beginning of a beautiful journey together – one filled with love, passion, and the promise of a future side by side.
