The Queens Request | Ganqing

Chapter 4

Tiny update, I changed some of this chapter because I felt like it wasn't good enough, so sorry for anyone who read it in the previous manner 🌸

Keqing opened her phone. Ganyu watched silently as Keqing opened an app. She shined her phone camera into the air and a little blue, solar map appeared. It was a map of Mondstadt, and it rotated.

Keqing used two fingers, tapped her phone, and then put her phone away. The solar map now showed all of Teyvat. "How did you do that?" Ganyu asked. "It's nothing much. Back on topic." Keqing seemed like one who liked to stay serious, so Ganyu listened.

"The real perpetrator lives here," the map zoomed in on Dragonspine, "In the mountains. 3 months from now, he goes berserk and blows up Teyvat with the help of a little girl dressed in red. In order to stop this, we have to prevent the alchemist from going crazy."

Keqing hesitated and sighed, but continued her plan. "Ganyu, I know you don't trust me, but we need to work on this." Keqing looked Ganyu in her eyes. Keqing couldn't help but stare at Ganyu's deep, colorful eyes. 'She looks like an angel...'  Keqing thought. Nonono.. Back on task. One step back.. two forward..

Keqing shook her head and blinked a couple of times. The silence was awkward. "Uh, so meet me at the park at 7..?" Ganyu chuckled. "Uh, sure. I'll be there." Keqing smiled. Ganyu waved and left Keqing's house.

...

Ganyu is talking to her roommates Amber, Sucrose, and Yoimiya. Yoimiya and Amber were apparently really close since childhood, and are super cool. Meanwhile, Sucrose is a little shy but fun to be around.

"We need to take a selfie! This needs to be something memorable!!" Yoimiya pulled her Kamera out of her pocket. "A selfie!?!? We just took one yesterday!" Sucrose stuttered. "That was like, forever ago! We need to memorize every moment together!!" Yoimiya put up a peace sign. "I'm up for that!" Amber said cheerfully.

(Right when everyone was gathering for the picture, Ganyu's watch went off. What time was it.. 7?!? Already?! Ganyu ran out of the frame right when Yoimiya took her picture, so the photo was kinda bad. Oh well.)

The park!! Ganyu didn't want to be late, especially when she was the person who asked Keqing to come!! Running most of the way, Ganyu made it to the park. She saw Keqing sitting at one of those wooden benches, drinking a cappuccino with a notebook resting on her lap.

"Hey!! Keqing! I'm sorry I was late..!" Keqing gazed up from her notebook and looked at Ganyu in front of her. "Take a seat. You don't have to ask, you know." Ganyu nodded and took a seat. "Do you know what causes the alchemist to go crazy?" Ganyu asked. "That's what I'm trying to find out." Keqing opened her notepad and flipped to the most recent page.

"These are my notes." Keqing took out her pencil and continued. "Since he's an alchemist, he might know more than what the rest of us. We need to slowly find out what happened." Keqing adjusted her notebook. "Oh, alright. I guess that makes sense." Ganyu scratched the back of her head.

"I know, it's kind of confusing. But I assure you we will do this. Speed of light." Keqing smiled brightly. "Yeah.." Ganyu said.

(The rest of the evening the females discussed things about the alchemist, but soon got bored. They went to dinner at a place called Wanmin Restaurant, so overall it was a good day. Wheb they split ways, Ganyu noticed a piece of notebook paper plastered on her shirt. It was Keqing's number. It also said that they should meet at a place in the woods daily at 6:30. Keqing had very fancy handwriting and also left a happy face on the paper. Ganyu headed home after that.

Ganyu tiredly headed back to her house. She could barely stay awake as she stood in the elevator. The doors opened and Ganyu walked to her apartment. 305. Ganyu opened the door. Amber and Yoimiya were chilling on the couch.

 "How are you still awake..?" Ganyu managed to say. "It's only 11, of course we are still awake!" Amber said cheerfully. "If you're tired, we'll be quiet so you can sleep peacefully." Yoimiya said, holding a popsicle. "Alright. I'll be heading to sleep then." Ganyu said, walking to her room. 

("I didn't know we had popsicles!?" Amber whispered. "Shh, I got them from a friend of mine.." Yoimiya replied quietly)

First person POV

Wide awake. The second I touched the bed, it was like I wasn't tired anymore. Ganyu picked up her phone, the brightness causing her to blink. She opened her contacts and checked her messages.

I put my phone down. That place behind the park? Yeah, that was it. I slipped on my sweater, some comfy shorts, and headed out the door, making sure not to be too noisy.

3rd person POV 

Keqing wasn't dressed too formal either. A black shirt, jean shorts,  and a jacket. Keqing saw Ganyu walk out of the darkness. "Hey." Keqing waved. "You have a cat? Ganyu asked. She had forgotten to ask this over text. "Uh, yeah! Her name is Qiqi. She's a white fluffy kitten with little gray patches." Keqing chuckled. "She sounds so cute!" Ganyu laughed.

Ganyu and Keqing talked the rest of the night, talking about the littlest of things. They also talked about what it was like in heaven and hell. They both didn't really notice the blush on the other persons face. After a while, both females fell asleep.
