I wake up and get dressed in some of Thoma and Beidou's clothing. We needed to wash clothing today because people had only half they usually did, due to me that is. I grab all me and Thoma's dirty clothing and brought it outside. Unexpectedly, Kazuha was out there, Sitting right next to the bucket with the scrub in it. I sigh and I walk over to the bucket and quickly pick it up before walking over to the lake. "Oh, hey Y/n." I turn around at Kazuha and wave at him. "Hi Kazu!" I smile before continuing to full the bucket up with water, add some soap, and begin cleaning. "Do you have any dirty clothing?" I ask Kazuha. "Hm.. well the shirt I have on right now isn't the best." Kazuha slips off his shirt and pulls it in the bucket. I'm not one to be disrespectful.. but I did sneak some glances at Kazuha's body. Not gonna lie.. it was pretty hot-
Kazuha flicks my forehead and I come back to reality. "Huh?" I say. Kazuha sighs and walks away, before turning around to watch how I clean the clothing. I put Kazuha's good smiling shirt in the water and get the metal cleaner ready and start scrubbing. Kazuha watches my hands intently and when I finish the shirt I hang it up. "No, you did it wrong." He shakes his head. Kazuha stands up, walks behind me and grabs onto my hands before helping me wash clothing. At that moment, I was so embarrassed. I felt both my cheeks get warm and  Kazuha's chest rise and fall when he breathes in and out. I watch his technique as he folds the shirt before washing it, instea dog me messily just washing wherever on the shirt. Once was finish he flattened the shirt out and hung it up on the ropes above. "That's how you do it." He walks away from the bucket and I chuckle a little bit. "Hm?" He looks at me. "Thank you." I smile at him and grab the next article of clothing, a pair of shorts. I told the shorts before scrubbing it, then flipping it over on each side, then flattening it out before having it up. Kazuha nods and claps for me at the small accomplishment I did. The next piece of clothing was.. never mind. I place that piece of clothing back in the pile before picking up another shirt.

-// After cleaning //-

I yawn and stretch my back before walking over to Kazuha. "Hey Kazu." I smile. Kazuha didn't wake up, so I grabbed a marker and drew a mustache on his face. I snicker at my childish act and pick him up bridal style to place him in the house. "Ooh?" Beiodu looks at me playfully. "No Beiodu." I roll my eyes, though I had a smirk in my face. "Well, get dressed in not wet clothing. We're going over to Kamisato commissions. We're going to need to meet Ayaka and Ayato.
I nod my head and shake Kazuha awake. He looks around for a few seconds before sitting up. "Hello Y/n." He smiles a bit before sitting up. "So you were talking about what?" He asks us. "We we're talking about going to Kamisato Commissions." He nods his head and walks to his room before getting dressed quickly. I did the same and headed to my room, quickly making sure Thoma wasn't in here then changing. I grab Beidou's purple shirt and some black shorts I believe Thoma owned. I walk out and place some sandals on my feet, prepared to go to the commissioner's place. Kazuha was now back in the living room and he looks at my clothing. I tilt my head and make eye contact with Kazuha. He shakes his head and stands up. "Let's go now, Thoma is already at the place cleaning it up. Now be careful, Ayato is there and he can be pretty.. peculiar." Kazuha opens the door and all three of us walk out. I put the hair tie that was once onto my wrist into my hair, making a ponytail. We had somehow made a line in which we were in an order.
First Kazuha, second Me, and third Beidou.  It was pretty weird but I didn't give it much mind. I spot a shiny item in my peripheral vision and I break the line, picking it up. It appeared to be a dull vision, from Mondstadt..? I look at the winged metal outside and walk to Kazuha. "You have one of these too right?" I and him. He nods and picks up the vision and looks at it oddly. "You can keep it, I have no need since I already have one. You can try to revive it as well." He looks back forward and continues to pace himself. I look closely at the vision and see the very dull outline of a fire mark on it. I smile, knowing that I also had fire, but my smile quickly falters remembering that the owner of this vision had died.
I place the vision in the pockets of my black shorts and continue to walk forwards, bumping into Kazuha. "I'm sorry!" I instantly apologize and frown. "It's fine, it was on accident after all." I thought about the word accident. I got in an accident, almost died, and nobody noticed? Nobody is even pointing out that I'm alive. I was right, nobody did care about me. I frown and look up at Kazuha's ponytail. I smile at the little ponytail that he had in his hair. He used to be able to have it up in a very small braid, but he must've cut his hair since then. "Since when did you cut your hair?" I asked Kazuha. "Huh?" He turns around. "Your hairs shorter then I remembered." I shrugged. "So you remember me having long hair?" He asks me slower, as if I spoke another language. "Yes..?"
Why was he being so weird about this? It's not like I remember him.. wait. I did.
I internally face palm myself and Kazuha was softly smiling. "Well, I got my hair cut because it was easier to manage my short hair when I wasn't allowed back into Inazuma." He explains. "Ohh!"
I nod my head. "That makes a lot more sense!" We eventually continue walking for a a while until we reach The Kamisato Commissions. We walk up to the tall man working there that I hadn't seen. He sort of reminded me of someone who used to play with me as a kid. "Hello, welcome to Kamisato Commissions. I'm Ayato." He smile and looks up, Looking at me very often. "So, Thoma here has told me you would like to receive some commissions today." Ayato mentions. "Yes Ayato, we are." Kazuha says. "And who is the person behind you?" Ayato asks. Kazuha looks at me and looks back at Ayato. "Oh, I'm Y/n. I'm Kazuha's old friend." Ayato nods, taking in the info. "Alright." Ayato grabs a stack of papers with lots of wording and lines on it. "So I have a person who's wallet was stolen by the Treasure Hoarders, somebody who is looking for a missing Hydro vision, and a hillychurls camp that is outside of a nearby restaurant." He names a few off the paper. "Pick your poison." He adds on. "I'll do the missing vision one." I smile. "Oh, the vision you have right now, what event is it?" Kazuha asks me. "Pyro." I respond. He nods and looks at Ayato. "I'll do the treasure hoarder one." Beiodu speaks up. "Then I'll do the nearby hillychurl camp." He nods. "After your done let's all meet up at a bakery." I recommend. "Hm, sure, which one?" He asks. "A local shop, maybe I'll find the one I'm looking for specifically." The two start to walk off, though I stay here. "Where was the vision dropped?" I ask Ayato. "They didn't specify where, sorry." I shrug my shoulders and walk around Inazuma, looking at the ground for anything shiny. You found mora, gems, bracelets, and even a hairbrush. But nothing was the vision.
Maybe I'm taking the wrong attempt at this, maybe it's high up.
I look up at trees, housetops, and birds, but I saw nothing. Though, there was a bird with a shiny item on the leg but it was too far away for me to see.
I now walk by the shop part of Inazuma where I was looking around for the vision, until a see a shiny object in a piece of clothing, intrigued I walk over at the clothing and open up the pocket where I saw the shiny part and I see something extraordinary..

Fun fact: Kazuha was looking at Y/n's outfit because it wasn't Thoma's clothing you were wearing. It was Kazuha's.
