Genshin Impact One Shots

🍃 ᴡʜᴏ ᴀʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ? 🍃

Little disclaimer, Bosacius is supposedly a guy, however this will be gender neutral! Also, due to the request, since the real Bosacius's fate is unknown this isn't a theory or something, this is just a plot device for this story.

Crack. Crack. Crack. "Who is this? Are they ok? Traveler we should find someone." I can barely catch their words. My eyes fluttered open and I looked up at the blond. A small floating creature above their shoulder. The small creature looks worried, what was I doing before this? Where am I?

"Could one tell me our whereabouts as of now?" They give each other a look.

"Do you not know?" The creature asked, concern apparent in their voice.

"Last I remember... I don't remember.." I shut my eyes trying to think back to just about anything. Even so, I don't remember anything besides my name. "I'm.. well I think I go by Bosacius. I can't say for certain. Maybe it's a place? Is it?" The blond's eyes widen and takes a step forward.

"This is the Traveler, we'll help you as best as possible." The floating creature spoke up again. It's so small and somehow floating. "I'm Paimon!" She sounds so happy, the Traveler nods. "You've been trapped in this amber." The small companion turns over to the other. "It's like when that one guy got trapped too! Do you think one of the adeptus did this?" The Traveler shakes their head, they don't talk much do they?

"We should take them to Xiao." The small floating companion thinks for a moment. Who is this Xiao?

"Why Xiao?" She looks just as confused as me.

"You'll see." The Traveler holds out their hand to me and I take it. My legs wobble for a moment, but I'm quick to walk beside them. As I reach the outside I remember where I am.

"The Chasm?" All of a sudden my head gets a wave of shock. I hold my head in pain. "Ah.." It's a breathy groan. What's wrong with me? The Traveler gives me a sad look. Do they know something I don't? My headache doesn't fully subside, but it's manageable. The land we walk upon doesn't allow me to remember anything else, even as we trudge through a path with so much to see. Around night, we arrive at a tall building. A pulley system lifts us up to the inside of the building.

"Come inside!" Paimon says happily. "We get to eat at last!" Eat. What kind of food would I like? What is there to eat? How long was I trapped? The Traveler heads down stairs, where I don't dare follow. "Come on!" I head down carefully. "Do you know what you want?" I shake my head.

"You can order me whatever you'd like, I'm sure I won't be too picky after so long." I give them both a slight smile and soon we head back up.

"Xiaooo! Xiaaao!" Paimon starts calling out as we head to the balcony. "Hmph! He's not responding to me again!" She huffs and puffs, just like a child, how cute.

"Xiao!" The Traveler calls out, and he instantly appears before our eyes.

"It's you, what requires my presence." He's totally focused on the Traveler, can this guy really help me? They didn't even tell me what he's gonna help me with, if anything at all.

"Traveler thinks he's found a friend of yours!" A friend? He used to be.. my friend? His eyes are a bright, piercing, amber that widen as his gaze falls upon me.

"..." He stares for a long while and he soon glares. "One who has dared to leave the mortal realm is no friend of mine." He disappears no sooner than he came.

"I guess he's not happy to see you, good thing we ordered almond tofu!" Is that something he likes to eat? I wonder what he meant by that, leaving the mortal realm. Was I somewhere else besides the amber beforehand? We sit at a table and wait for our food, which comes sooner than later. The tofu is placed at the empty chair, which is quickly filled.

"I suppose I'll eat with you. Trust me when I say I'm not pleased with this however." He eats with an almost smile, but once he notices me staring his face falters. "Where did you find (Y/N)?"

"Is that my name!?" I blurt out, almost with joy. There is someone who knows me. He looks over with widened eyes and looks down towards his plate.

"We found them trapped in amber! Deep into the chasm too, we don't a lot." Paimon puts a hand on her head disappointed. "They say they lost their memory." She sighs looking dejected, even so she quickly recovers and eats her food. The Traveler nods.

"I see.. so that's how it is (Y/N). Morax believes you left the mortal realm, seems it wasn't far from the truth." Morax? Once again a pain surges through my body and a hazy memory falls upon me.

"From this day forward, Bosacius is no longer your name. It shall be (Y/N)." I grasp my head my eyes squeezing themselves shut.

"Another headache?" Paimon asks with apparent worried. I just nod.

"It's your karmic debt, you'll start being in pain so often you'll get used to it." Used to it? Karmic debt? "Or do you not remember any of it anymore (Y/N)?" I shake my head with a sigh. Maybe I should've stayed in that amber. "You're a Yaksha, like me, and you've killed mortals that will haunt you for your whole life." Did I trap myself in that amber?

Once Xiao is finished filling me in, on what's happened from then and now, the Traveler leaves me with him. I follow him to the room the Inn has given him. "I may not remember you, but I want to thank you for being kind to me through my journey." I give him a smile he does not return.

"I had no one else, yet you disappeared. Perhaps you could no longer take the pressure the karmic debt gave you, so you then trapped yourself in the amber.." He came closer to me, tucking some hair behind my ear. My face flushes, I would of never thought he would do this. "We'd talk for hours when we weren't fighting, how could you leave me?" My heart pangs with guilt, almost as if I know deep inside that's exactly what I did. He inches closer to me. "I was never able to truly relay my feelings for you, but I won't let the chance slip away again. From what I heard, this shows intimate affection." He leans in, his lips briefly touching mine. He turns away from me quickly, I assume his face is as red as mine. "Don't leave me again, (Y/N). Promise me."

I place my hand on the top of his head, with a small smile. "I promise."
