Married to a Harbinger [genshin impact]

10: The Murder of Rex Lapis

Something big was going on, and the thought of Ajax being hurt was curling badly in his stomach. 

[M/N] since Ajax wasn't at home after five lately and isn't home until the clock strikes three in the morning. He only knew Ajax was home at that hour because Sweetie would stumble into Ajax's legs and Kuai would hear him and he would stomp his feet against the floor for them to quiet then. Most of it would lead to a fight between a bunny and the slime until Ajax separates them and placed Sweetie in the bed between them to sleep. 

When he was gone for that long, it meant work had piled up, and was taking his time or preparing for a long mission around Teyvet. If he was packing up for home, then [M/N] would have to go with him. He missed home and missed his in-laws very much, his own family moved to Sumire so his home was Ajax's home. Besides, he missed the snow as well. 

[M/N] woke up on Kuai gotten on the bed and pawing at his cheek, he smiled before gently placing his bunny down and began walking out the room. He stretched his arms above his head, some of his bones cracking from the nice stretch as he opened the curitans. Sunshine bursting inside their home and [M/N] noticed Ajax's things were gone. 

He must've gone to work...my poor love..working too hard for his own good.

[M/N] brushes his teeth, showers, and changes as Sweetie was eating some leaves left in his bowl and Kuai drinking some water. He pulled the cabinet door opened and placed an empty lunch box before grabbing the things he needed for the lunch. He was told tired himself from work to make their lunch the night before, lucky for him it was a day off. He pulled the soup to warm up on the stove and began making some onigiri, fresh ones. 

I wonder what it is though...why don't the others pull their weight? My husband shouldn't be out this late...it annoys me so much.

He was happy to live in the protection of the Fatui because he is the husband of one of the Harbingers but they literally do nothing but sulk or grumble about work. Ajax never did that, especially the fighting parts but there was lots and lots of paperwork afterward. [M/N], if he had time, reads over it out loud for Ajax as he visited his office but it was too much even for him.

[M/N] blows the fire out of the oven and poured some of the fresh Prize Catch into a cover and placed the lid on it. He wrapped it up and into a bow with the ends. [M/N] placed more onigiri balls into the area above it before closing it once more. [M/N] yawns to himself before placing it in a bigger bag as he slides his shoes on. He opened the door before walking down the street, locking the door behind him. He kept walking towards the Northland bank with a cheerful hum escaping his lips as he walked to the building. 

"Hello, Master [M/N]." Ekaterina greeted Ajax's husband with a smile. "He's right inside, he's been grumbling about how hungry he was." She gestures to the bag and [M/n] gives a smile.

"I had a day off today, so bringing lunch was a good idea, no?" He said as she opened the door for him, his shoes clicking softly as he walked into the interior, humming as his [E/C] eyes marvel at everything around him. There were no guards or such, which surprised him but kept pushing on to Childe's office. He goes to open the cracked door when someone speaking stops him. He peered inside the room a bit as he saw two fatui men in front of Childe, kneeling as a sign of respect.

"Is that all you can recount of their appearance?" Ajax said, eyeing the guard in front of him like he was wishing for a death wish for lying.

"Of course Sir, many accounts from Mondstadt had seen her take down the guardian dragon Dvalin, she and some knights along with the Ragnvindr heir fought beside her." One said as the other nods beside him, Ajax hummed and stared down at them as [M/N]'s eyes narrowed.
