Keqing x M! Reader.
Warning: spoiler for the main Archon quest.
—————————————————————————————————-
It was the middle of winter. Snow was falling down all of Liyue. It was definitely a bit cold. (Y/N) had gone to one of the vendors of the harbor. He wanted to get his new girlfriend a necklace. He had saved a bit up from all of the commissions he had been doing. He knew Keqing was super stressed when dealing with the aftermath of the end of the Jade Palace. He found it cute how they started talking after she didn’t believe how selfless he was. It has been a bit since he was last in Liyue. He wanted to introduce his sister to Keqing the moment he found her. Paimon was looking at the choices. “Ohh Paimon thinks you should get this one for Keqing!” She said pointing at a necklace made out of Core lapis. It looked really like a sign of status. The gem was big and had a gold like metal around it. “Isn’t that a bit flashy Paimon? It doesn’t seem like her style. Keqing has a more modest like sense of style.” (Y/N) said. He looked at the options. He saw one that looked like a flower. “Paimon look at this necklace instead.” He said pointing at it. “No way Paimon still thinks you should go with her suggestion!” She argued before they both heard someone calling (Y/N)’s name. He looked around and his face became red from a blush. He hoped it wasn’t noticeable because of the could. He moved his scarf up a bit on his face. He walked over. “Hey Keqing!” He greeted with a wide smile. “Hello (Y/N). It’s been awhile. You should’ve informed me so I could’ve planned some things to do on my day off. Next time inform me so we can plan more effectively. Would you like to spend the day together?” Keqing asked with a blush. He nods. His (e/c) eyes shining with joy. “Of course. Is it alright if I hold your hand as we walk?” He asked holding his hand out. He saw her reluctantly reach out and grab her hand. She was definitely cold to the touch. It made him want to wrap his arms around her and pull her into a tight hug. That would definitely upset and embarrass his girlfriend though. “Hey Keqing which of these necklaces would you choose?” Paimon said. She noticed her boyfriend pout at the flying companion. She walked over to look at necklaces. “I like the flower one. The Core Lapis one is a bit flashy. It would make me feel unapproachable. I want people to be able to speak their mind around me. Not to mention the size would get in the way at times. Why do you ask?” Keqing asked looking at Paimon.
She felt a bit of shifting next to her. She looked at her boyfriend and noticed him bringing out some mora. “I like to buy this necklace please.” He said and gave her a shy smile. This made her face super red. She saw him grab the necklace. “Keqing may I put it on you?” (Y/N) said with a big grin. She hated how well his (h/c) hair framed his face perfectly and make his (e/c) eyes shine. She looked away with a dark blush and gave. a small nod. “I suppose but don’t take too long.” Keqing stated. (Y/N) gave a laugh her reaction was super cute. He also loved how flustered she got. He got behind her and put the necklace on. Once he hooked the clasp. He wrapped his arms around her. Her back was pressed against his chest because of the hug. He frowned at how cold she had felt. “Keqing let’s go to Paimon and my inn room. I just was to cuddle.” He said gently holding her close. He rested his head on the crook of her neck. She was definitely a blushing mess. “That would not be very productive even for a day off!” Keqing protested. “Please it’s so cold in Liyue and I just want to hold you close and share our warmth. You don’t have many days you do nothing. I also haven’t seen you in awhile because I’ve been looking for my sister. Please indulge my selfish request.” He begged. He looked over at her. He knew he was attracting a bit of attention from others. People were muttering about how cute they looked. They were surprised to see the Yuheng of the Qixing with her lover.
“Fine but stop hugging me like this you’re drawing a lot of attention!” Keqing said super embarrassed. (Y/N) let go smiling brightly. He noticed her shaking a bit from the cold. He grabbed her hand and lead her to the room he was staying in. They took off the coats they were wear and sat down. Paimon had gone to spend some time with Xiangling. It was nice being just the two of them. Keqing had sat a bit away from her boyfriend which made him pout. He decided to wrap his arms around her. He pull her close to him before laying down with her in his arms. She was now resting on his chest a bit stiff. After a moment she relaxed she didn’t know how long she’d be able stay still. “Your heart is racing. I can hear every time it beats.” Keqing stated which made his heart speed up. “It must be because I have the most beautiful lady in my arms.” (Y/N)said with a dorky grin. He gave a small chuckle at her reaction and kissed the top of her head. “You’re lucky I love you.” She mumbled with a dark blush. They laid there talking for hours. Keqing had spoken about some issues and what was going on in Liyue. While (Y/N) had told her all about his adventures. They talked late into the night shifting every once and awhile. By the time Paimon returned to the inn room she found the two asleep. Keqing in (Y/N)’s arms and her head resting on his chest.
