Your Perspective

"Uggggh, I lost again? This game is ludicrous!" Keqing said as she slammed the cards on the table in annoyance. I chuckled at the reaction. As she kept angrily going off about how bad the game is, how unfair it was and how unfair it was that I won. I sympathetically told her that we could do something else if she wants. Keqing defiantly shook her head and said we'd keep playing till she'd win. It's been 3 hours. 

"Can't you just let me win?" Keqing asked hopefully.

"Oh for me to let you would, you'd have to lose for me." I said back.

"Huh?"

"Exactly."

Keqing gave me the look before rolling her eyes and picking up the cards to play again.

- . . .-

I was reading a book on the couch and noticed that I hadn't heard from Keqing in a while. I shrugged it off, but couldn't help but think something is off. 

"(Y/N), think fast!" Keqing said after popping up from behind me in an attempt to scare me. I sighed, moved from where she was about to flick me, and flicked her in response. She recoiled before harshly asking what that was for.

"You were going to flick me, so I did it first. Plus what being possessed you to try doing that?"

"W-Well, I thought it would spice things up today. It's kinda boring today, you know?" SHe said, still rubbing her head. Maybe i flicked her too hard? Nah.

"Fair enough. Just refrain  from doing that okay?" I told her. She nodded before walking away. Just as I was sitting down she popped out of nowhere and flicked me.

"HEY!"

~. . .~

A few hours later, I have my head on Keqing's lap, trying to take a nap. She gently ran her hand through my hair, which although relaxing, was kinda keeping me awake. Still I’m quite comfortable where I am, so this is fine. 

"Hey, Keqing?"

"Mhm?"

"You wanna go out on a date tomorrow?"

"E-Eh?! WHy would you ask something like that so suddenly?!" She asks getting flustered. I told her that it's been a while since we've been out one, and the idea popped into my head a few seconds ago, so I'd rather I ask now lest I forget. I glance upwards to see her reaction and she turns away from me.

"Very well then. We can go on a date tomorrow." She says.

"You have anywhere you specifically want to go? A fancy restaurant, perhaps?" I ask slyly. She rolls her eyes before looking down into my eyes.

"Walking along the harbor is fine." She says.

"You sure, you don't wat anywhere specific?"

"The HARBOUR is FINE, (Y/N)." She affirms. 

"Okay Okay, calm down. . . " I say. So we've got a date along the harbor tomorrow. Nice
