ᴇᴛʜᴇʀᴇᴀʟ ʙᴇᴀᴜᴛʏ (𝘚𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘩𝘦 𝘹 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳)

The breeze was gentle and calming, gently swaying the blades of grass surrounding the pair. They sat upon a neatly laid white mat; a small, brown woven basket of food was the only thing accompanying them apart from the presence of nature. The sun was setting, hues of orange and yellow overlapping the light blue sky as a peaceful atmosphere enveloped them. The food was still warm despite it being out for quite a long time. Well, more specifically, hand-made pastries.

"You excel in creating sweets," Shenhe, [Y/N]'s lover, complimented. "But one can only intake so much sugar."

A small laugh came from the [H/C]-haired female. "Shenhe, you don't have to finish all of them."

A ghost of a small frown was lightly written on the said female's face, a hint of disapproval in her eyes that were akin to opal, glimmering with such beauty.

"Didn't you say that you say that you had made them for me?"

[Y/N] nervously grinned, "Well, you're not wrong."

[Y/N] took another bite of her pastry, the sweet taste of cream filling her mouth. She had to commend herself for what she had made, it tasted amazing.

"[Y/N]?"

The said female turned her head towards Shenhe, tilting her head slightly.

"Yes?"

Her eyes widened at the feel of a hand gently caressing her cheek and a thumb brushing against the corner of her lips. A light shade of pink tinted her cheeks as she struggled to process what had happened.

"You had gotten cream on your cheek is all," She simply stated but did not remove her hand.

"Oh, uh- Thank you?" She mentally cringed at her lack of words, yelling at herself inside her head when the statement came out as more of a question.

"No worries," Shenhe gave her a small smile, placing a soft kiss on top of her head.

[Y/N] froze, taking a moment to take in everything. Shenhe? Giving affection? What world are we living in again? She thought to herself. But that was the last thought in her head when she focused her gaze upon her lover, mind blown by her beauty up close. Her hair framed her face with such grace, silvery strands akin to the stars that lay on the blanket of the night. Her complexion like freshly fallen snow, bringing out the colour of her pearlescent eyes as streaks of red outlined them with grace.

What was not perfect about Shenhe anyway?

From the way she mastered to spar with her polearm swiftly to the way how she spoke with such calamity, the mellow tone of her voice ever so mesmerizing. The slight twitch of the corners of her lips whenever something amused her or how her stern gaze would soften when it met her partner's. Everything was just utterly perfect about Shenhe to [Y/N]. Though, as perfection may hardly be unattainable. In love, someone's flaws can become graceful quirks embraced by their lover with their own worthy characteristics.

[Y/N] couldn't ignore the slight disappointment that was poured into her being as soon as the warmth of Shenhe's hand left. The lingering feeling made her desire more contact, to hug her lover but she knew it was rare enough for Shenhe to display affection towards her as Shenhe was new to the whole concept of 'affection' and 'love', so she'd wait until her lover warmed up to it.

"Thank you for setting up this 'date' of yours, I quite enjoyed it." Shenhe looked up at the sky, the wind blowing at her hair ever so slightly as you could hear the slight smile in her voice.

"One day, perhaps, I will be the one to take you to one of these lovely settings myself."

(A/N: Words cannot explain how much I love Shenhe and Xiao, holy shit. I love Shenhe a lot but I had a hard time writing for her, she's hard to write for me but I will try because I'm amazing like that. Take care of yourselves, drink water! <3)
