Your watch keeps ticking and your legs can’t stop shaking. three hours. Three hours since you arrived at the destination of where your meeting with this mystery person takes place. So far, you have no luck. Your date hasn’t shown up at all, and hope is slipping away from your grasp.

Closing time is nigh; the workers at the restaurant send pitiful messages your way through their expressions, reminding you that the manager is going to kick everyone out soon. Every time you tell them that your date is coming whenever waiters pass by you, the urge of curling into a ball and sobbing your heart out increases. It’s embarrassing that your date has the audacity to stand you up, leaving you confused and alone for three freaking hours.

Just as you are about to give up and go home, a familiar face squeezes your shoulder and sits diagonally from you, his eyes forming into crescents as his lips curl upward. It’s the assistant manager, Kazuha. Time for you to go.

“Hold on, I’m not kicking you out just yet,” he chuckles, running a hand through his silver hair. An urge to apologize swells inside your throat, and you want to hurl it out. however, he gently places a finger on your lips, as if he just read your mind. “Give me five minutes to change, yeah?”

He disappears into the staff room for more or less five minutes to change into his casual attire. When he comes back, his smile carves on his face once again, making your whole body melt.

“Hi, again,” he says with a small wave. “I convinced the manager to make you an exception, so we can stay here as long as you want. Do you mind if I ask you how your day is?”

“My day would have been great if my date didn’t stand me up.” you laugh rather humorlessly, which causes Kazuha’s lighthearted expression to falter. “I’ve been waiting here for three hours, but things happen, I guess. So how about you, assistant manager? How has your day been so far, hm?”

“Very tiring, actually,” he yawns against his palm, throwing his head back. “Preparing shift schedules, calculating kitchenware and equipment with my minimal math skills, maintaining the satisfaction of our guests; you know, the usual assistant manager stuff. I got promoted last year, surprisingly, so I’m still learning how to get by, but I’m enjoying it so far.”

Your ears perk up at the forgotten ticking of your watch. It’s getting late; the bus is going to be here any minute now. “As much as I would love to keep the conversation going, I have to catch the bus. Thank you so much for keeping me company, Kazuha. Have a good night.” You give him a chaste goodbye before hurrying towards the exit. Your heart wails for the handsome young man; this is probably the first and last time you’ll see him. What a shame, really.

“This isn’t fair.” Kazuha looms in front of you before you know it, blocking the exit. “Three hours. That’s how long you have been stood up, right?”

The room went silent. Your mouth is unable to move, as if it has been sealed shut with glue. Your gaze bores into his, prompting him to step aside from the exit.

“Alright, screw the bus.” He holds up three fingers, representing the hours you have spent inside the restaurant. “That’s how much time we are going to spend together. That’s the amount of time you could have enjoyed with your date, and the amount of time wasted waiting for that stupid date of yours.”

Y/N: *yawns*

Lumine: Yeah, being that pretty must be tiring.

Y/N: Then you must be exhuasted.

Childe: Will you two shut up? Some of us are lonely.

Hello 👋

Hello, I am Heba Al-Anqar, 21 years old, a university student. My university was suspended due to the war. I am writing about my family: my father Bakr (54 years old), my mother Alaa (46 years old), and my sisters Aya (18 years old), Amal (15 years old), Muhammad (13 years old), and Maryam (8 years old). We have faced many challenges in this war, from the destruction of our home to the famine we continue to suffer in northern Gaza.

My father suffers from heart problems. He had open-heart surgery when he was 36 years old. He also suffers from cartilage problems. He had his pelvic joint replaced about two years ago, in addition to other health problems. He cannot work due to his health condition.

My mother also suffers from asthma and shortness of breath, in addition to the difficulty of obtaining treatment due to the conditions and the war.

This is our house, which was destroyed by war

We have become homeless in places of refuge, in addition to the difficulty of obtaining medicine, food, and daily expenses

I created this account to request your help in this difficult ordeal by donating to meet the necessary needs, as we were relying on social assistance before the war.

My goal is to help my family live in safety and provide the necessary necessities for living, as there is a high cost of living and difficulty in obtaining necessities. We ask for your help in leaving the Gaza Strip to save my family’s life. The cost of travel is $5,000 per adult and $2,500 per child, in addition to travel and accommodation expenses of $500 per month.

Together, we can support Heba and her family through this ordeal. Your donation, no matter how big, can make a difference in my family's life to get life and start a new life

genshin impact x gn!reader┊fluff: how they carry you

ingredients: how do some genshin men carry/hold you in certain situations?

calories: childe, diluc, kaeya, kazuha, xiao + gender neutral reader

serving size: fluff・very little angst

— WHEN YOU'RE HURT

in a situation where you are injured, childe will not hesitate to carry you in his arms! even if you protest and say that you are okay, he will definitely just ignore you and start looking around for a healer.

he thinks that hoisting you onto his back will take too much time and in a very critical situation (where you are extremely hurt), time isn't on your side.

if you keep being stubborn and saying that you are alright, childe will say that he will knock you out if you keep objecting and you literally can't tell if he's joking or not

once however you accidentally tripped over your own feet and ended up being swooped into his arms... you had to remind him that you weren't on death's door

— WHEN YOU ASK FOR HIM TO CARRY YOU

oh no. what have you got yourself into?

childe's arms immediately go under your knees and shoulders; you have to wrap your arms around his neck so you don't fall off when he swings you around

but princess style isn't the only way he'll hold you! childe will sometimes pick you up and put you on his shoulders (if you get embarrassed by it, good luck cause he's not putting you down anytime soon)

he will definitely tease you by wrapping his arms around your waist from behind you and lifting you up just like that; if you kick your legs then he'll definitely put you down and laugh

i think we all know that this man is strong— in some situations, childe doesn't let you down on the ground for a LONG time. the only way you can get him to put you down right away is if you start tickling him, but if you do that you better be prepared to run cause this man WILL chase you down

— WHEN YOU'RE TIRED

for once, childe will give you a piggyback ride! in a scenario where you aren't too tired, he will run around liyue with you on his back (it's a bumpy ride 💀) it's also a way for childe to show off his lover wherever he goes, so he'll be doing it for a while

there may have been some occasions where childe was having some normal conversation with someone and you're just sleeping on his back; he honestly just finds it cute how you trust him enough to do that like it's a normal thing

he might even go over to zhongli and coo about how adorable you look while sleeping on his back

— WHEN YOU'RE HURT

another one who will carry you princess style; it's just efficient and quick, so who wouldn't?

however if needed, diluc will also give you a piggyback ride! there's more contact that way and provides more warmth, soothing and taking some of your pain away

in the piggyback position where your head is lying on his shoulder and your ear is close by, he will whisper sweet things to you to distract you from the pain. he also asks questions so when you answer, he knows you are still alive and conscious

remember that diluc's probably reliving his worst nightmare of losing someone he holds very dear to his heart; when you get better make sure to reassure him that you're okay :'(

— WHEN YOU ASK FOR HIM TO CARRY YOU

this can truly go many different ways!

if you ask diluc to carry you while in public, he's at a loss of words.. but who is he to say no to your adorable pleading face?

won't princess style carry you in public but the most he will do is giving you a piggyback ride (and ignoring everyone's stares as he's walking down the street with you sticking to his back like a koala)

if it's in private however, diluc won't hesitate to carry you in his arms and spin you around! he will bend down a little bit to press kisses all over your face and laugh at your reaction

will let you go if you ask, but if he's looking for a bit more touch on that particular day then he'll pout and ask for just ten more minutes (please give it to him SOBS)

— WHEN YOU'RE TIRED

another situation where i can see things going different ways

let's say you and diluc were having a date outside and you just fell asleep on the picnic blanket, then he chooses to just pick you up onto his back

if you're very exhausted, he'll carry you princess style (but you might have to promise him that you'll walk on your own once you reach mondstadt's bridge)

however in a situation where you pretend to be tired so he can carry you and he notices, then he'll playfully throw you onto his shoulder BUT only in private. if there's people around the area you're at, he'll just quickly tickle you and give you a forehead kiss to wake you up

— WHEN YOU'RE HURT

princess style all the way. kaeya does not want you to possibly be in more pain if he carries you on his back, so he gently puts you in his arms and immediately looks for barbara

probably one of the ones who looks very calm on the outside but is an absolute wreck on the inside, he doesn't want you to panic if you see him panicking so he tries his best to look strong for you

like diluc, he'll talk to you. unlike diluc, he whispers different things like praises.

for example: "you can do it. you are strong, don't let the pain get to you." and etc.

— WHEN YOU ASK FOR HIM TO CARRY YOU

i think we all know how teasing this man can be; the moment you ask, kaeya will pick you up and throw you onto his shoulder- kind of like his brother, but absolutely does not care if you two are in public!

you could literally be standing around talking to someone and kaeya would walk up behind you and just pick you up; it's kind of normal at this point 😭

other times though, he will actually wrap his arms around your waist and carry you, swinging you around and nuzzling his nose against yours

another fellow who will carry you on his shoulders! i don't think he will do it much but will definitely do it if you asked; he likes it when you hold onto his hair or bend down a little to look at him

— WHEN YOU'RE TIRED

when kaeya sees that you're tired, he immediately offers to give you a piggy back ride. this man may be a tease but he genuinely wants to give you some rest, plus he likes it when you snuggle your face into the crook of his neck :)

bonus: he also likes piggyback rides because you're a bit closer and he can breathe in your scent

however princess style works too! kaeya likes it SO MUCH when you cuddle your face into his chest and doze off just like that

— WHEN YOU'RE HURT

could carry you either on his back or in his arms but kazuha would probably prefer on his back so he can feel your breathing on his shoulder and neck to confirm that you're still alive

whispers things like "when we get home after you get better i'll make you your favorite soup" to make himself believe and trust that you'll be okay

if he carries you in his arms instead however, he would hold you up a bit higher so your ear is pressed against his chest and you can hear his heartbeat. anything that can distract you from the pain and soothe you even just a little bit works for him

another calm on the outside and completely wrecked on the inside; he keeps a small smile on his face to reassure you that everything will be fine

— WHEN YOU ASK FOR HIM TO CARRY YOU

teases you at first but makes it seem like he's oblivious: "i'm sorry dear, could you please repeat that?"

but eventually, kazuha will hold and carry you: if you want him to give you a piggyback ride, then he will! how about in his arms? he'll still do it!

loves it when you're in his arms so he can lift you up a bit more higher to nuzzle his cheek against yours

i don't think he would mind if it was in public? probably would go up to beidou while he is still carrying you and you're just there flustered as kazuha talks to beidou so casually (this man oh my lord)

i don't know why but i can visualize this man gently picking you up then tossing you on his shoulder for fun. only in private though! he doesn't want to make you uncomfortable in public in that uncomfy pose

— WHEN YOU'RE TIRED

if you ask kazuha for a piggyback ride one night on the way back home after a date, who is he to decline?

talks about random things while you're on his back in a sleepy state and you aren't complaining; his voice is so soothing it almost makes you fall asleep the moment you hear it

gets so flustered if you play with his hair or you actually do fall asleep while on his back, it makes kazuha very happy that you trust him to hold you as you sleep

— WHEN YOU'RE HURT

xiao immediately picks you up in his arms; whatever is the fastest will work cause in that moment all he is thinking about is losing you and how he cannot let that happen

says things like "don't die on me" or nothing at all, all the thoughts in his head are clouding over and he's just desperately trying to hold onto reality

he could be calm on the outside and panicking on the inside but at the same time, everything currently happening stresses him to the point where how he looks on the outside is the last thing on the priority list

when you get better and he's carrying you back home, be prepared for a lecture. no he's not mad (if he is it's at himself), he just deeply cares about you and knows how fragile mortals can be

— WHEN YOU ASK FOR HIM TO CARRY YOU

you probably broke him cause now he's just a very blushing adeptus

in public? xiao will definitely decline but if it's a private place outside in nature or in the privacy of your room at wangshu inn, he'll begrudgingly pick you up (cause let's be honest he can't really say no to you for long)

could carry you on his back or in his arms; sometimes he will just get to a very high place while holding you so he can see your reaction to the beautiful view

likes it when you hide your face into his chest (while you're in his arms) or into the crook of his neck (while on his back) when he's literally jumping in midair cause you don't want to see the height below you

— WHEN YOU'RE TIRED

xiao already knows it himself that he won't be able to handle it if you fell asleep while he was carrying you princess style

he cares about you so much and still wants you to get some rest so reluctantly he will offer his back to you

doesn't know if that decision was a good thing or a mistake cause when you fall asleep and he can feel your breathing on his neck xiao is instantly a flustered mess

literally thinks you're doing it on purpose because of how you can easily make him blush but honestly he's just touch starved and hasn't had physical affection in a long time (until he met you)

bonus points if you kiss him on the neck before you doze off; yeah he thinks he's going crazy now
