    Summary

    How inconvenient, Diluc thought, spitting out curses in a futile attempt to silence his coughs. Despite how his burning lungs demanded his attention, his searing gaze wouldn't leave the letter in his hands.

    Hanahaki disease. This bizarre phenomenon was the cause of the blood on his sleeves and the white lotus petals sitting innocently on his desk.

    If only the flower was a small lampgrass, a calla lily, or anything else, then Diluc would not hesitate to rip the flowers out of his system. Mondstadt's safety would not be compromised if he stopped caring about a single person. This flower, however, was not to be associated with a singular person. It represented a concept that has eluded him for many years now, something he has sworn to protect.

    The lotus flower, also known as the flower of dawn, symbolizes purity, commitment, and optimism for the future.

    ...

    In which Diluc yearns for the splendor of dawn, but the world of light refuses to shine upon him. Meanwhile, there's a serial killer on the loose who wants the blood of knights and might be a yandere for the Darknight Hero.

    Summary

    “Sweet? Caring? You’re too much,” Diluc answered. “I still don’t know why you’re okay with all of this. I’m an…” he sighed and dropped his head against his pillow.

    “I don’t care what you are, Diluc,” Kaeya said, “you could be an alpha, and I’d still like you. I’m not going to treat you any less because your ass gets slick when you get turned on.”

    Summary

    Diluc accidentally inhales some pollen and goes into a sort of Pyro Vision-induced heat. Fortunately, Kaeya happens to be passing by and is equipped with exactly what Diluc needs for relief...

    [day 1 of kaeluc week - flowers]

     

    Kaeya pours out more of the lotion and starts working it in, but it isn’t even a minute before he’s interrupted again by Diluc making a very needy sound. He immediately covers it up by saying, “It’s not working.” There’s a note of complaint in his voice, making it sound suspiciously like a whine. “Not working enough, anyway.”

    Before Kaeya can get control of his thoughts, his mouth is running on its own. “Well, let me get your front too, then. Just to be safe.”
