I am starting off with some XingYun, 
Fandom: Genshin impact
Characters: Xingqiu and Chongyun
Ship Type: friends to lovers... mostly friends for this edition

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xingqiu was alone in his room. Usually he'd be fine with that, books all around him, the smell of ink and parchment, and the light coming in from his window.
Bright but not blinding... the perfect setting, but today, he wanted something different. He put down his book and moved towards his window.

He need not disturb the 'foreign dignitary' in his brother's company by barging through his own front door. So he leapt down, feet first on the ground and on a mission to find his favorite distraction, Chongyun- the saviour to his boredom- hopefully.

As swiftly as the Adpti, he was speedily stopped by one of the servants. Amazing...
"Young master, what are you doing out here, you should be in your study working." 

The boy decides to look up and pull on the formality.
"I greatly appreciate your concern, however I am on a mission of great importance, I shall return soon, chivalry waits for nobody."

Seems he'll have to be sneakier next time, after spending his precious time on making excuses and promising to be back in under two moons, he moved on, finally.

Walking along the streets of Liyue and avoiding associates of the guild who'd attempt to get his opinion on yet another meaningless task or ordeal or just to drag him back, he made his way to Wanmin restaurant. The noises of Liyue surround him, loud wonderings, children playing in the streets, a couple up in a tree, and the scents of the sea wafting through from the breeze...

He walks further... his footsteps echoing on the paved streets

The smell of fresh food cooking, a shout for chop suey, a mix of Li and Yue cuisines, he is exactly where he needs to be. The hydro weirder passed two Mondstaters.. probably siblings, at a food stall before being intercepted by a certain chef.

"Oh! Hello, Xingqiu, where's your shadow?"

Xiangling, as bright as ever, catches him on her way into the restaurant, carrying a woven basket with various 'supplies' and a small bear following behind her, balancing a matching basket on its head, a smile on her face, a potentially dangerous aura surrounding her.

"Greetings, Xiangling, I'm looking for him right now," 

Xingqiu decides to be wary and see if it is safe to dine here later after finding his confidant, "Any... new specials?"

A grin comes across her face, that means... 

"Yes! Guoba and I decided to take some samachurl soup and mix that in with some Jueyun chili, a few slime condensate, and some leaves from a pyro regisvine for spice, and some carrots"

...Definitely not safe- he should flee.

"Thank's A'Ling, I shall return with one of the finest exorcists in Liyue!" He waves and makes his way towards the outskirts of Liyue, trying to keep from running from the giggling Pryo girl.

Following the path he keeps an eye out, thinking about his treasured books... and potential leads to tell his exorcist. Deciding to go to WuWang hill he readies his sword to prepare for the monsters.

—-----------------WHEEEE--POV--CHANGE-----------------------

There was a disappointing lack of spirits on WuWang hill, and Chongyun was at peace, going through the movements of his control exercises, he decided to meditate. It had been a while since his last incident, formally dubbed a 'Yun Yun yang energy incident' by none other than Xinqiu, for some reason his breathing decides to become slightly uneasy, then his cheeks decide to burn up.

Diverting his thoughts to his aunty Shenhe and her methods of training, he moves to practice his claymore techniques, he makes note of the weapon feeling lighter- it seems that he's getting better... however...

His mind keeps drifting towards the last overheating

'The day was cold, he was at 3rd round knockout with Xinqiu and Xiangling, a few chillis too far in his spice tolerance training and BOOM!
 He was dancing on the tabletops and making a fool of himself, both friends pulling him down and the crowd cheering him on- so embarrassing.'

He steadies himself and infuses his claymore with cryo energy from his vision, ready.. wait- the new shipment Xingqiu was talking about earlier probably arrived hmm- wait. Speak (Think?) of the devil- the boy is right there.

Now wholly distracted, the blue exorcist strikes the ground and puts his claymore away to greet his (not so) unwanted visitor, the 2nd son of the Feiyun commerce guild who has - for some reason.. taken an intrest in his movements.

"It's lovely to see you today Chongyun, who knew you were such a good student?"
The devil in shorts snarks at him, is he teasing him? Chongyun feels his energy levels rise.. not good.

Play it cool, play it calm.. respond normally- he thinks as Xingqiu is right there.
"Ah, Xingqiu, what brings you here?" 

And he has the gall to wink at him!
"Just to see my dearest"
The hydro wielder tilts his head sideways and continues speaking, Chongyun is content to listen to the cadence of his voice..

"I'm here on behalf of Wanmin Restaurant.. we should dine there later" He seems to have an odd glint in his eye as he says that. He might just overheat- oh Celestia above, why does he have to do that?? Centering himself, Chongyun breathes out, it's just Xingqiu- nothing out of the ordinary... act normal..

"I'm training with my vision, even if I trust thaumaturgy and martial arts more, one cannot become truly proficient without vigorous training... As for Wanmin, maybe you could train with me before the sun goes down and leave near dusk?"
He said too much.. oh archons why-

Xingqiu probably notices but says nothing.. he then unleashes a counter offer.
"Ah, but Xiangling and Guoba are trying out new ingredients as always, they could surely aid you in your chivalrous training, come along Chongyun, we could possibly all train together after..."
Is.. Xingqiu pouting? Adepti give him strength.

The Adepti didn't answer his call, as he is currently being dragged by the arm wrappings back to Liyue Harbour

--------WHEEEEEEEEE---SCENERY---CHANGE--------------

Two boys with light popsicles walk into Wanmin restaurant, together, the sun still in the sky.

"Oh, You've made it! I just created something with intense Boom-Shaka-Lacka!"
The chef's daughter has made an appearance, the blues cower in fear as she utters the last words they'll hear before leaving.

Thankfully, the freeze duo convince their friend to just serve the regular.. albeit with a slight zing on the side, kudos to the chef.

They take a seat together, across from each other so they can 'train' better...
In the chaos of an inventive XiangLing's ideas, the two decide to work together to overcome the "Special Samachurl Soup Series" through sheer determination...

"It's amazing, see?"

Chongyun tries suppressing his thoughts, 'it'll be over soon'

huh? What's with that look on your face? Not enough salt?" 
The chef herself stares at them, smiling with a journal for feedback, her bear sitting on her lap and sampling from the table, while Xinqiu's bringing his rediculous haircut closer to his side of the table.

"Ahem, My leige, I urge you to please put those carrots down, Chongyun! What has compelled you?"
Revenge-

He's still too close...
"Sorry A'Qiu, but it seems my Yang energy is acting up."
A small smile comes across his face, as Xingqiu does a doubleta
