| Warning!! This story is R18 meant for mature audience | Tighnari and Cyno have been good friends for years now but things between them have changed over the duration of a few months. With neither of them taking any step against it nor pursuing a romantic relationship so far, they're stuck in the realm in-between being friends and lovers unsure how to properly communicate with each other. The story takes place in the existing universe of Genshin Impact though there might be some discrepancies happening (both intentional and accidental). Also Cyno is still the General Mahamatra. I'm posting this story on ao3 as well. The art and cover was created by me.
