Chapter 4

You opened your eyes lazily and grabbed onto the pillow, humming. The blanket slid off your shoulders and you grumbled as the cold air made contact with your body. "C'mon, wake up!" You heard Kaeya impatiently whisper. "Go away.." You mumbled, pulling the blanket back up to your face. He huffed and stepped over to the curtains, opening them dramatically.

You yelped in shock and covered your eyes with the pillow. You talked to your parents last night once Kaeya finally let go of you, and they were more than happy to let you move in with him. However, the two of you were more than exhausted, so you just crashed into bed with him. And now we're here.

"We have a lot of stuff to do today, I even let you sleep in, let's go." He hummed, kissing your shoulder. You moved the pillow and sat up, bringing your knees to your chest and growling, moving your hair out of your face. "There we go!" Kaeya chirped, picking you up. "Eh- Kaeya!" You whined. "Get dressed, c'mon!" He hummed, setting you down on the ground and dancing slightly in circles around you.

You glared at him and grabbed your outfit from the closet, sliding it on with the occasional yawn.

You looked at your vision and huffed, placing it in your pocket and closing it when you heard footsteps. "I have all the stones in place! Are you ready?" Noelle asked you with bright eyes. "I am, yes. Let's go." You smiled, walking alongside her. She led you to one of the roads that needed repairing and you cracked your knuckles, hopping up and down.

"Alright, you two." You said, pointing at two boys who were helping out. "Yes, Commander!" "Commander..?" "You are the Commander of the teams rebuilding Mondstadt, are you not?" "I don't know? Ugh, whatever, I want you two to lift these stones and put them in the pile here. We'll transport them to Wagnar's place once this area is finished."

They nodded and moved the stones with a flick of their wrists(jean had recruited every person with a geo vision in Mondstadt to help out). "Great, now I want you to find which of these stones fits where." You ordered, motioning to the new pile of stones. "And then I want all three of you to put this cementing paste on the bottom and sides, not the top, and place them in the same spot. Do not take all of them out at the same time, just do one at a time, otherwise, you'll forget where they go."

Noelle and the two boys nodded and got to work while you walked off to find the team working on Mondstadt's walls. "Amber!" You shouted once you found her on top of one of the walls. She looked down and grinned, waving. "How is it going?" You asked. "It's going great! These Geo dudes are really helpful!" She chirped as three people looked down at you.

"That's good, I'll come back soon to check in on things!" You hollered before leaving to the main city. You found Kaeya pointing to a spot where he wanted some knights to set down some wood and you peeked over his shoulder, studying the building. It was..really damaged. Like- wow.

You hummed quietly and he turned his head, yelping in shock. "Are you okay??" You asked with worry as he caught his breath. "No, you scared the shit out of me!" He scolded. "Heh, sorry." You chuckled nervously. "It's fine. Just- wow, you are terrifying." He mumbled, moving his hair back in place.

"It looks like you're doing a pretty good job so.." You hummed. "What is that supposed to mean?" "It means I didn't know you were good at these things." You teased. "I'm great at these things!" "I'm better~" "Oh yea?" He teased, pulling you in with a smug smile.

"Mhmm." You hummed, kissing him softly. "Ew.." You heard someone groan. You smiled at a blonde and pushed Kaeya away jokingly, walking over to him. "So you're the one that's actually rebuilding this?" You asked as Kaeya sighed in defeat. "I am. Did he say he was?" "Not exactly." You chuckled.
