Beidou looks at my face and her eyes widen. I had now just noticed that the towel I had on my face was now on the floor. "What happened?" She walks over to me and looks at my burnt face. "I was trying to use my elemental skill after not using it for 5 years but the butterfly bomb I had made, blew up in my face." I explain.
Beidou's eyes furrow and she places the towel back on my face. "Keep that on your face. I'm going to get you another one." Beidou walks away to the kitchen to get another towel. I look over at Kazuha and my hand starts moving on it's own towards Kazuha's face. My hand came in contact with his soft hair and it felt like clouds. I continued playing with his hair like braiding it, though it was very small, or just picking it up and letting it fall.
Beidou walks in and smiles at the sight of me playing with his hair and once I now realized what I was doing, my face turns red and I quickly stop doing it. "No, it's ok. You can keep doing it. He probably likes it anyway." She walks next to me and takes the old towel off, replacing it with the newer and fresher one. I reluctantly extend my hand back out to his hair and continue to play with it.
'It just felt natural to do it, I mean it was very nice and fluffy.. anyone would do it! Right..?' I thoight as a Beidou sits down on the floor next to me. "Do you want to share a bed with Kazuha?" She asks me and my face instantly feels a bit hotter. "Why would you ask.. that?!" I ask in shock. "Well, it seems that me and Kuzuha are not the best at sleeping. He grabs into my pillow and steals it from me to hold, and I push him off the bed which makes him fall into the floor. Thoma on the other hand it bigger and taller, though now as tall as me, would probably be like a wall against my kicking and punching. Plus you and Kazuha have known each other for years." She shrugs looks up at me.
"We'll have to ask Thoma how he feels." My adjust my vision to Kazuha and see him mouth slightly curved upwards in a smile. I play with the red streak in his hair until Thoma walks into the house. "Oh no." He rubs his forehead which is full of sweat. "What happened?" Beidou and I ask at the same time.
He locks the door and walk over to us before sitting down. "Lady Kamisato Ayaka was being a bit off today." He sighs and looks over at Kazuha and smirks at me. "Ooh." He teases me. I playfully roll my eyes and continues to play with his hair, even if I looks crazy. "How long has Kazuha been asleep during all your talking, plus how had he not mumbled hugged anything yet?" He asks me. I shrug and yen a bit, settling down in the cushions of the couch. "What's up with the towel on your face?" He asks me. I take it off and show him the burn and he cringes at the sight. "Oof.. that looks like it hurts." He looks away from me and I place the towel back down.
"Hey y/n, can we hear your childhood story?" Beidou asks me. "Oh. Well, I'm sure I would be able to tell you." I scratch the back of my neck and think about what parts to leave in and out. "Alright, it starts when I was a little girl.."

(While y/n says this, these memories flood through her mind)

-//- Flash Back -//-

Y/n weeps on the floor while her dad yells at her. "Your so useless! We were going to at least sell you off but you couldn't even do that easy of a task!" He kicks y/n's stomach which makes her have trouble to breathe. "Why couldn't you have been strong like your brothers! You were a mistake! You should've never been born!" Y/n's dad drags her out of the house by her hair as her brothers stare at their dad do this unforgivable act. They dared not to stop him, knowing the punishment they would've revived. Y/n's dad throws her out of the house and yells at her once again. "DONT COME BACK!" He slams the door shut and Y/n breaks down in tears, only being about 7 at the time. Though her age may have been young, but her knowledge was high. She knew from the brutal classes her father.. no. Her abuser would force her to do she knew how to live outside. She picked herbs, Lavender Melons, and Amakumo Fruit to survive until her mother had brought her food and water and hugged her. She whispered her last words to her in the time she knew them. "I love you y/n. I love you so much... I'm so sorry I can't help you." Her mother cried in her shoulder and left her with the foods. Underneath the food was a address and Mora. Y/n went to the address listed on the note and it was Kazuha's house. There she finds her almost forever home until his family was accused and forced out of Inazuma. The stuff and belongings of the house taken away to a special warehouse. You were forced to work, provide, and thrive on your own, heading to the bridge on your break for work, slipping off.

Beidou and Thoma looked shocked. You were keeping in your tears from your past that you hated. You had, during the story, somehow moved Kazuha closer to you to the point where he leaning on your shoulder and your arm around his shoulders, still playing with his hair.
"Y/n.." Beidou stands up and pulls you into a tight embrace before letting go for a second to give you space. "I'm so sorry that happened." She frowns. "No, it's fine.. I just can't go to a specific apart of Inazuma. Too many bad memories." I chuckle a bit. "The only time I go there is if there's a commission, but I'm careful not to run into my family. My mom and oldest brother would be fine, but not my second oldest brother and dad. My second oldest brother never cared to stand up for me even if he knew I were in the right. And my dad is self explanatory." I sigh after talking a lot and rest my head on top of Kazuha's. "I'm going to sleep again." I yawn and they nod. "Tomorrow we're going to head to Liyue if that's fine with you." Beidou stands up and so does Thoma. "Oh! By the way, we were thinking about swapping up who sleeps next to each other again. Me and you. Y/n and Kazuha." Beidou says to Thoma. "Well, just don't push me off the bed then." He chuckles and I giggle a bit aswell. "Well, it's settled. Thoma grab your stuff and come to my bedroom. I'll bring Kazuha's stuff to Y/n's room." Beidou says to Beidou in the other room. "Ok!" He replies. I smile as I see Kazuha's peaceful face once again. I more my hand from his hair to his face and feel again, how soft his skin is.. 'lucky.' I sulk, not having as smooth as a face as his. "Ugh so lucky." I whisper to myself.
"I'm so jealous of you Kazu" I whisper in his ear. I watch as his face turns red and that's when I realize he wasn't asleep this entire time.
