A Fated Reunion - Capitano x Reader

18 | Wishful thinking

This story is based on a game called Genshin impact. I do not own any of the game characters except for Y/N, Y/N's Grandmother, and Bubbles.

Capitano hands you the bouquet of flowers, their colors vivid and bright. They're a beautiful bunch, with a mix of different types, from roses to daisies and lilies.

He watches as you take the flowers, his expression earnest. It's clear that he hopes his apology is genuine, and that he truly is sorry for his actions.

"They're beautiful...." I muttered.

Capitano smiles at your comment, clearly pleased that you like the flowers. He looks down at the bouquet himself, admiring the mix of colors and shapes.

"I'm glad you like them. I picked out the flowers myself. I thought they would be as beautiful as you are."

I blush, red spreading across my face. "T-Thank you..." I say embarrassed.

Capitano notices your blush and grins, clearly enjoying your reaction to his compliment.

"Are you blushing, Y/N? Don't tell me my words have charmed you."

He can't help but tease you a little, enjoying the sight of your rosy cheeks. His tone is light and playful, almost as if he's trying to brush off the seriousness of the . conversation.

"You know, blushing looks good on you. Your cheeks turn a lovely shade of pink when you blush."

"T-Thank you...

Capitano's smile widens, clearly enjoying the fact that his words are making you blush even more. He takes a step closer to you, his tone still light and teasing.

"You're welcome. But it's only the truth. You are beautiful, Y/N. Anyone with eyes can see that.

"Maybe, when I go back to Snezhnaya, will you accompany me back there?"

"I-I....really? I would love too go with you _____" I say grateful.

Capitano's expression brightens even more at your words, a look of genuine surprise on his face. He clearly wasn't expecting such a willing response from you.

"Really? You would come with me to Snezhnaya?"

"As long as you would train me with a weapon.."

Capitano looks at you assessingly, a small smirk on his face. He takes in your determination, your desire to learn and improve.

"You want me to teach you how to fight, hmmm? You're serious about this?"

"100% serious." I say eager to start learning.

Capitano nods, his smirk turning into a small smile. He clearly admires your determination and willingness to learn.

"Very well. I'll train you how to fight. But I warn you, it won't be easy. Are you sure you're up for it?"

"Definitely!" I reply

Capitano grins at your determination, clearly pleased with your answer. He reaches out and pats your head gently, his hand lingering for a moment.

"Good. I like your enthusiasm. You'll make a good student, I can tell."

I notice the sun going down. It was getting pretty late, and I had to go home.

"It's getting late now _____"

"I'll head back home k?" I say softly.

"I'll see you tomorrow then Y/N." Capitano says, reluctant to let me go.

You make your way home with Bubbles, the blubberbeast following closely behind you. He seems almost resigned to his fate, as if he knows that he's in for a long diet.

As you walk through the door, your grandmother looks up from her knitting. She notices the bouquet of flowers in your hand and raises an eyebrow in curiosity.

"Y/N? What's that you've got there, dear?" She asks, gesturing towards the flowers in your hand.

"Nothing important...." I mutter.

"Oh? Nothing important?" Your grandmother repeats, her curiosity piqued. She looks at the bouquet in your hand, admiring the array of colors and shapes.

"They're beautiful. Who gave them to you?"

"A friend"

Your grandmother raises an eyebrow, a small smile on her face. She can tell there's more to the story, but she doesn't press the point. Instead, she nods and goes back to her knitting.

"A friend, hmmm? Well, they're a lovely bunch of flowers. You should put them in some water so they can stay fresh."

"Alright. I will" I walk upstairs, holding Bubbles.

You give a piece of fish to Bubbles, who gobbles it up eagerly. The blubberbeast seems pleased with the snack, though he does shoot you a look of resignation, as if to say "I know this is part of the diet, but can I have more?"

"That's enough Bubbles. No more." I cooed

Bubbles lets out a soft murble of protest, clearly disappointed that he's not getting any more fish. He looks at you with a pitiful expression, almost as if he's trying to guilt-trip you into giving him more.

I pat his stomach.

You pat Bubbles' stomach, which is still rather round and jiggly. The blubberbeast lets out a soft murble, his expression almost comical as you pat his belly fat.

"You see this? When this turns small, I'll consider giving  you some more fish."

Bubbles looks up at you, his expression still pitiful as you pat his tummy. He seems to understand that his diet means less food, which does not please him at all. But he doesn't protest further, instead murbling softly as you continue to pat his belly.

I set him down, crawling into the bed

"Just imagine Bubbles.....I might go to Snezhnaya with _____"

"I'll finally get out of this village. It's kinda boring staying here everyday."

"One day. _____ will take me there...."

"Or it's just wishful thinking...."

A/N:

Thanks so much for that many reads! At first, I didn't really think my writing skills were any special, but I had an idea so I put it on paper. (Virtually) Anyways, I'm currently on vacation so my posts may be late, be shorter than usual, or I just won't have time to post at all. I'm going home on July 19th though, so please bear with me!

With love for my readers, A/N.
