Maiden's LongingLiyue's harbor is probably the busiest place on earth, one can't simply be lonely around the harbor. Many people flooded the harbor for trades, ships are coming in and going out. The many activities the harbor had are what make the harbor became so prosperous.
But there is one lady, feeling lonely in the middle of the busiest port on Teyvat. She knew she shouldn't feel that way but she couldn't help it. The harbor are a perfect place for people to come and go and so does what her lover did. Though she is part of the Qixing with loads of work she needs to do, there are time when she simply feel lonely.
The thing is every time Keqing walked in the middle the harbor, her beloved certain Fatui lovers would be there to either helping her or teasing her instead. Having a Qixing member and a Fatui Harbinger dating is such a weird combination but they ended up together anyway.
"When will he came home" Keqing asked herself while she is looking at the sea. It's the break time and she felt so lonely. If only Childe is there with her, they're surely having lunch somewhere in the harbor.
She sighed and decided that she needs something to eat. She knew she should be concentrating on her job but she can't help it and feeling lonely after he left to Snezhnaya for some business.
And day by day passed since Childe leaving Liyue for Snezhnaya. Keqing always spent her break time to look at the sea, hoping that he is there in one of the ship boarding in the harbor. She missed him, she had sent some letters but none of them coming back.
Even after months had passed Keqing still patiently waiting for Childe to come back to Liyue again. Did he ended up abandoning her He never replied to her letters. Keqing's eyes can only stare at the sea longingly in hope he is there, coming from a ship that just boarded.
But this time when she is still staring at the sea, a pair of hands suddenly closing her eyes. Keqing gasped in surprise, wondering who the owner of the hands.
"Who's there" She shouted
"Guessed who" Said a voice from a familiar man.
"A-Ajax" Keqing didn't believe that of course. Why he is coming back without telling her
"Surprise, sweetie I came back" Childe grinned, pulling the purple haired girl to his embrace.
"Stupid harbinger why don't you tell me anything" Keqing pouted at him. She couldn't believe he did that to her.
"I'm sorry, Keqing. I don't know I would leave this long. If it's not for her majesty Tsaritsa I wouldn't left you hanging like this." He sighed. He truly love her but he still have a responsibility to serve his country as a harbinger.
"Just... Ugh, why are you even here now." Keqing tried to push him away. She missed him so much but she didn't want to say it.
"To surprise you. Okay okay I'm sorry it's my fault. I won't do it again, I love you okay" Childe smiled then he cupped her face gently.
"At least reply to my letter... But fine, welcome home, Ajax." Keqing sighed. She would throw tantrum at him but not now, not in the public.
"Thank you sweetheart. I promise I won't left you again after this. Also, you didn't look well... Shall we make this up" Childe said teasingly.
"Ugh... It's hard to think when something is missing you know You should pay our lunch today." She pouted.
"Fine fine milady. Let's grab some lunch, shall we Then I can help you with your work so we can have some free time." He smiled.
"Fine... That's quite fair. But I still won't forgive you." She said before she took his hand to lead the way.
"Yeah yeah. I know I won't be forgiven but you still love me anyway~"
"Shut up, Ajax"
