Genshin Impact One-shots (Requests Closed) *ON HOLD*

Diluc x Reader| requested by @missPurpleButterfly8

(A/N: alternate version of my last oneshot)

A certain red haired male had been walking around the city of freedom, alone and in a rather relaxed stance as well. The night had came and with that a ceremony for the Anemo Archon. Sadly Diluc never went to these washed out ceremonies, it didn't concern him but what did was a lack of defence around the city. He would protect the city with his life even if it meant that it came to an end. He would have life a full and content life and that would be all that mattered. The male became lost within his thoughts until a sudden rush of people spread back into the city. Diluc walked around the outskirts of the town, keeping it in check as the guards would take long to arrive back upon their posts. A rucus of noise erupted from Mondstadt's main entrance, rushing to the noise it was nothing bad but a few guards drunk on the job. Diluc approached them.

"What are you boy's up too..?" He questioned with a deep and clear tone which sent the guards into a panic. "M-master Diluc!? What are you doing here!?" Diluc stared down the guards again and then simply laughed lowly. "I could ask you the same thing, drunk on the job. Wonder what that would cause for ones job and reputation. People would think Mondstadt wouldn't  be able to defend itself..." The guards instantly returned a relatively neutral position and held their spears beside them, apologising for their awful behaviour. A small pack of slimes hopped across the bridge and this made Diluc walk into the city "I'll leave this to you boy's.. " he muttered and let the guards fend them off. The red-haired male hid and covered up his hair, assuming the role of the dark knight hero to help these drunkards with their jobs. He didn't like that but he loved his city and would defend it no matter the cost. The man jumped towards the slimes and shot a firey phoenix towards the jelly creatures, only for reienfoments to arrive. Sadly he might not be able to do this alone.

The fight waged on for moments longer until silence rung out which was soon followed by more slimes but with slimes increased by tenfold. Diluc struggled to keep the slimes away from Mondstadt but that's when they arrived, a certain someone who went by the title of 'Lone Life-Link'. This person knew Diluc more than anyone and when they landed beside him. They shared a bitter sweet kiss on the battle field while they used their magic to keep them safe. The slimes were basically eradicated at that point and only small weak, helpless slimes stood around them. They only had to stomp on their fragile bodies to destroy them into clumps of dust. Disappearing into what seemed like a endless vast void of night they shared one last kiss before they had to part ways.

(A/N: 503 words and a pretty decent oneshot.)
