From Zero~ A Chilumi AU

02

Lumine woke up to her alarm and saw that Keqing wasn't in the room anymore. The mattress she used had been neatly placed under the bed, as for the blanket and pillow she just left it on the chair.

Lumine stretched her arms upwards and let out a little yawn before walking into the bathroom. After washing up, she went to check the time.

"It's almost 6:30... I should go check to see if Aether's awake yet"

She walked towards Aether's room and opened the door to see Keqing pinning Aether to the wall

"Woah- didn't expect Keqing to be so dominating-"

Aether quickly gave Keqing a peck on the lips before walking to his sister

"What it is Lumi? Did you need something?"

"Yeah I need you to stop being lovey-dovey and actually get ready for school"

Lumine gave them both the "you better hurry up" look and then left to get changed into her uniform. She gave Keqing a spare set of of clothes she kept at the side and she went to the bathroom to change.

After a few minutes Lumine starting brushing her hair so she doesn't look like a puff of dandelion seeds. Keqing came in with her hair all done up in her signature hairstyle. Once Lumine finished, she grabbed her bag and Keqing took hers.

"Thanks again for letting me stay over for tonight, I have quite a bit to explain to my parents"

She let out a nervous laugh and Lumine held her hand while slightly squeezing it.

"No problem, I'm sure your parents won't be too mad."

Keqing hummed in response while sitting on the couch to wait for Aether. Lumine went to go make lunch for the three of them. Usually she'd make fried noodles or something but since they didn't have much time left she just made simple sandwiches.

"Lumine!! You done yet??"

Aether yelled for his sister and she hurriedly placed the sandwiches into separate boxes. Grabbing all three boxes, she rushed back into the living room and handed them their lunch.

"Thanks sis"

"Yeah I know it's not much but there's really no time... not if I wanna see Childe"

Aether sighed and rolled his eyes while Keqing giggled in amusement. The three of them wore their shoes and started walking to school. They stopped and a cross road where Keqing would have to split off but they waited for Childe to arrive so Lumine could see him before going to school.

Soon enough and right on time, Childe appeared and hugged Lumine tightly. Keqing and Aether didn't realise until Childe said hi to them

"Good morning Lumi! Hey Aether, Morning Keqing!"

"Morning Tartaglia"

"Heya Childe"

The two couples quietly chat with each other for a while until Keqing and Childe had to leave.

"Sorry but I'm gonna have to go... Childe, you coming with me?"

Keqing and Childe's schools were in the same direction while the twins went to school going the other direction. Childe was actually the one to introduce Keqing to them.

Aether gave his girlfriend a bear hug and then his kissed her forehead. Childe ruffled Lumine's hair making her glare at him. He gave her a smol peck before calling Keqing over to travel to school.

"Well, shall we go?"

Lumine nodded and held her brother's hand as they walked the school together.

After getting to the school gate Lumine saw Hu Tao and Xingqiu talking. Hu Tao had her hat on which was strange as she didn't usually wear it to school. Xingqiu was reading a book as always, sitting on the edge of the fountain. Aether quickly ran over to greet his friends

"Hey Xingqiu! Hu Tao!"

Both of them looked up and waved. Lumine noticed that Xingqiu had a silk flower in his hair and she decided to go over and ask him about it. When she walked close enough to overhear their conversation, she heard Hu Tao telling a little story.

"And then BOOM everything exploded!! Sadly I had to clean everything up but it was fun in the moment!!"

"Morning Hu Tao, Morning Xingqiu! Why is Hu Tao wearing her hat and why does Xingqiu have a flower in his hair?"

Xingqiu blushed when she mentioned the flower probably meaning it had something to do with his boyfriend, Chongyun. Hu Tao on the other hand just casually explained the reason.

"Aiya... don't think too much of it. Yanfei told me she wanted to see me in the hat since I told her about how I made it smaller to fit my head, that's all"

"And what about you Xingqiu? Why is there a flower in your hair?"

"Well today is marks the 6th year me and Chongyun have been dating so... he decide to give me a preserved silk flower. He put it in my hair so it probably gonna stay there the whole day."

"Well happy anniversary to you both!"

"Why thank you Lumine!! Enjoy your day today!!!"

She nodded and went into the school to grab her books before making her way to home room. She passed by Fischl and Mona chatting in the hallways and she decided to go join them.

"Hey girls! Whatchu up to?"

"Oh nothing much, just chatting about random stuff"

"My dear friend, the sophisticated topics we are currently discussing are not to be dismissed as "random stuff""

Lumine left them to do their own thing and she went to get her books. She crouched down and suddenly her legs fell limp and her head started spinning. Everything was moving around for her and she was getting dizzier and dizzier.

She held her head and tried to just quickly get her books. She felt light-headed, as if she was going to faint at any moment. She couldn't find her balance and she felt herself fall backwards. The dizzy feeling soon went away and it was as if nothing happened.

"Strange... why did I just suddenly feel
light-headed...?"

She muttered the thought to herself before brushing it off and walking the home room. No one had seen Lumine almost faint but what she didnt know was that this little feeling was going to cause a lot of trouble...
