bitter exes | beidou x ningguang

chapter xiv

All of them sat as they chatter at one another. Their hair were still damp because of the unexpected swimming earlier. It is now noon and mosquitoes started to bite their skin.

Ningguang, although feeling sexy and hot with her unfit clothes, started feeling cold and being uncomfortable at her state. When she sat, her clothes seemed to shrank, revealing only but her thighs.

Beidou patted her back gently, "Uncomfy?" her eyes were concerned.

She nodded and gestured towards her revealing thighs then arms, "It's a bit freezing." in fact, the cold breeze is from Dragonspine.

"Oh, hold on." she sat and went to her cabin. It took her seconds before arriving with a comfortable pirate coat.

She handed her over the coat in which she hesitated for a moment, "Yours?" the tianquan would never wear someone else's but only hers.

Beidou nodded and swung the coat over her shoulders. It felt warm and fuzzy, "You can take it." she smiled as she looked at her pirate lady.

She laughed as she held the coat, "Do you really think I would wear this outdoors?" she joked but still appreciated the small thing.

Beidou realized, "Well, if you ever miss me," she lifted her chin up, flexing herself, "You can always wear it."

Ningguang blushed at this, "As if you're leaving me." she rolled her eyes.

"Oh, look at how sweet they are." Ganyu gave Keqing a look, "I suddenly feel cold." she acted shivering.

Keqing laughed, "Dear," she gave her a tight hug, almost falling from their seats.

It must have been normal staying at their ship to hang out but Beidou was fine with it as long as they are enjoying. The company felt wanting coming back as they knew that The Crux is very welcoming unlike what the rumors say.

The day felt like it happened within a second, they did not want it to end. The horizon showed the sun almost setting and it was the prettiest color.

Beidou sat beside her love, "Hungry?"

As she asked that, her stomach started to rumble loud which wasn't very elegant for her, "Sort of." started to worry if the rumbling was too loud for her to hear.

She gulped down a beer, "Xiangling will be here at any minute." her tone was soft and gentle as if a lullaby.

Ningguang had regretted pushing the captain away after they have departed ways. She was afraid that once she set her eyes on hers, the time will come by fast and she did not want that. She wanted to savor the moment with her as slow as possible, not missing any second.

But most of all, she was afraid of fate. An ill-fated relationship but she thought wrong. Both of them deserve each other and last time was only the wrong time for them.

The timing was incorrect.

But this time, it is.

The other two gazed beyond the ocean, leaving Beidou and Ningguang alone again. They were awkward for a moment as they struggled choosing a topic.

Ningguang cleared her throat, "Pearl Galley, tomorrow at six o'clock." she reminded her, "Escort me at the Yuehai Pavilion and don't be late." she sounded like an announcer.

She nodded hastily, "Roger," there was silence again, "When is this Mondstandt thing?" she tried to carry the conversation.

"That'll be by next next week," she said in a flat tone, "And the transportation is yours." she felt shy ordering her around but it is fine with Beidou.
