IKAW AT IKAW, genshin impact oneshot collection

fancy [ayato kamisato]

A soft melody was playing in the confinements of the Kamisato Estate.

Soft laughters, fancy gowns, fake smiles and a ton of two-faced people crowded the halls of the said Estate.

The host that held the party stood somewhere on the sidelines, watching everyone's move and chatting with the people who attended.

He stood by a table of delicious-looking treats when he saw the infamous Y/N L/N enter the room with a dressed-up man escorting her.

Everyone's heads turned to her and greeted her in high regard.

Y/n L/n, her father's business is one of the four great Commissions of Inazuma and as the brand-new heir of the commission.

The Yashiro Commissioner's rival and business partner at the same time.

He keeps his smile plastered on his face and didn't hesitate to greet her with a warm smile. "Welcome, I'm glad you could make it, L/n" he said.

"Ah hello there Yashiro Commissioner" she curtsied but the moment she bowed her head she grimaced, 

'Gosh why is he here'

"Please call me by my first name L/n, it's only proper that we call each other by our names as we approach the day of our vows."

"Then how about you call me by my first name too A-ya-to" an irk mark appears on Y/n's forehead but the smile on her lips stayed.

Ayato smiles naturally, "If my dear fiance wants it then I shall, Y/n."

In the crowd's eyes they seemed to be getting along but the two were cursing each other in their minds, well... at least Y/n was, Ayato was clearly enjoying her reactions.

As they talked about their upcoming wedding, Y/N found herself losing her train of thought.

"It seems as though you lost interest in this conversation, Y/n."

Y/n bit her tongue and started talking to save her reputation, "Well, I was only thinking about how you don't seem like the type to host parties like this one... Ayato."

Ayato nods, "That is true, however, It has been a tradition to hold a banquet a week before a wedding happens between your family and mine."

Y/n continues to speak, "It's quite shocking that you're here since people outside the estate rarely see your face."

"Well I don't see any value in seeing my face to quench their curiosity however if it were you yearning to see my face then I would gladly show it off everyday," he smiles charmingly leaving you speechless at his smooth talking.

"You're quite the smooth talker, Ayato" she hides her flushed face with a fan she held and changes the subject making the Commissioner chuckle lightly, "You really are intriguing."

She froze at the spot upon hearing his deep chuckle, 'I will not fall for you tricks Yashiro Commissioner!' you inwardly scold yourself for even feeling something for the man.

As the guests chattered away, Y/n's eyes remained locked on Ayato who drank a cup of tea, trying to find out his true intentions.

Ayato's smile never faltered, "Do you want to say something, dear?"

"Dear...!?" You almost fell off your seat but you thank that your escort was behind you to stop chair from bending back.

"You better get used to it honey, we will be wedded in a week. We should start getting used to being a couple and everything that couples do."

You sighed exasperatedly and gestured your guard to leave the two of you for a moment. 

The man bowed and leaves you two.

You looked at him dead in the eye but he doesn't falter, "Kamisato Ayato, what's your true intentions. Why would you choose me for the arranged marriage when there were 9 other options?"

"Was that what you were thinking about the entire time?" He tilts his head.

You crossed your arms and huffed, "Are you planning something?"

He stands up from his seat and moves to a seat across you, "That's because if I chose someone else It wouldn't benefit you."

"Why would you care about the benefits I get?" You quirked your eyebrow.

"Because I like you," he confesses with his chin on his hand and a calculating gaze, watching your every reaction.

"What...?" Your face flushed but you regained your composure, "I won't believe such an obvious lie! I'm not that gullible, you obviously have an underlying objective!"

"I don't."

As the sun began to set, you sat on your chair as the guests soon bid their goodbyes to each other and to the host who sat across from you with a smile plastering his face.

"I wish we could spend more time together" Ayato whispered, his voice heavy with emotion, "But unfortunately we don't have enough time."

He held his hand out to you, "I shall see you again at our wedding day dearest."

You stare at his ocean blue eyes and stood up by yourself, ignoring his reached-out arm, "Hm, as long as you keep your word about everything on the contract then I'll be your wife, Yashiro Commissioner" you left with your escort following behind you.

He watches you walk away and smiles affectionately, 

"What a captivating woman."
