Missing You [Beiguang]

Missing You

Ningguang sat at a window seat upon gold and green cushions, letting smoke seep through her lips as she gazed outside her window inattentively. She fiddled with the intricately designed pipe she materialized from her fingertips. It was raining. Droplets stuck to her window, making the view of the city that lies beneath her distorted and hazy.

The giant city of Liyue looked so small from the Jade Chamber. She gazed down at the green and red city below. The city was overwhelming at times. Ningguang couldn't even take a stroll without being approached by familiar faces. Whether it was merchants and traders wanting business advice or the people she's come to call friends, it felt better being away from it all.

She lifted the pipe up to her lips once more, taking in a long puff before letting the smoke escape from her lips. She looked down towards where Liyue Harbor was. She couldn't make out if ships were docked or not. Not that she expected any. The ship she wanted to see was days away.

Ningguang huffed out a sigh, she couldn't just sit at the same window waiting for the Crux to come back. Counting the days away in her floating fortress of solitude. It was pathetic. But she couldn't help that the brunette chronically plagued her thoughts.

It wasn't supposed to be this way. At first, their relationship was simply a contract of mutual pleasure. It was obvious that Beidou had interests in women. And Ningguang just needed to let off steam. No strings attached. No feelings involved. She wasn't one for love.

Beidou, of course, proved her wrong.

It had only taken a month of sleeping together for Ningguang to develop feelings for the troublesome pirate. Even though the two were opposites, she couldn't help having a strong attraction towards her. She fell for her more quickly than she would've liked to admit.

With a sigh, the blonde let the pipe dematerialize in her hand, getting up from the cushioned window seat. She turned to look at her minimalistic room. Only filled with necessities. The only decoration that adorned her plain walls was an art piece. A painting of the sea. A gift from Beidou before she left.

She gazed into a mirror by her bedside wondering why she even bothered getting dressed today. No one was going to visit her. She had no business to attend to today. No one came to the Jade Chamber often. Ningguang and a few of the workers were the only residents. The guards outside rarely came in except to eat. The maids tended to their own business during this hour. Her secretaries should be off work, spending time with their families.

Ningguang carefully discarded her shoes and began to undress. She peeled her long, dark gloves off by the fingertips, leaving her arms bare. She pushed the straps to her dress off her shoulders and let the gown slide off of her curves, watching it fall to the floor. She looked at her figure in the mirror, her breasts covered in a lacy yellow bra that matched her panties. Beidou would love to see her like this.

After all, that's who she got the lingerie for.

She let her almost naked figure fall onto a bed fit for two. Looking up at the bare ceiling, she could only think of Beidou as she sprawled on top of her white duvet. Ningguang had never minded her simplistic room. It was dull and modest, but it was home to her. Objects never mattered to her. Beidou was the opposite, of course. She loved to collect things and gave Ningguang small gifts every so often. One being a small ship carved from cor lapis. That present now resided on her nightstand.

Ningguang smiled. It would only be a few more days until Beidou's return from her month-long voyage. Transporting goods from Liyue to Inazuma under the Raiden Shogun's reign took time. Especially now with a wanted man on board. They had to be extra careful. News travels fast, even across the sea, it sounded like a war could erupt at any moment.

All Ningguang could do was sit back and hope she made it back safely. Beidou was always looking for trouble. She believed she could take on anything. Ningguang could only hope she wasn't prideful enough to think she could take on the electro archon herself.

Ningguang couldn't help but imagine what Beidou would do when she saw her again. Would she run her fingers through her hair and kiss her? Pin her against the wall and kiss her neck the way that always gave Ningguang chills? Who knew she could long for a person this much?

Her mind wandered a little more. Imagining the scenario of when Beidou came back. How her calloused hands would feel around her naked waist. How her lips would brush against her jawline. Ningguang's hands began to wander along with her imagination, one slowly sliding down her stomach and the other cupping her covered breast. She can still remember how her hands felt against every inch of her body. Beidou explored her body just as she explored the sea. Her rough but gentle hands caressing her curves as if they were waves.

Ningguang's hand reached the frilled lace of her panties. She let a few fingers slip underneath the fabric, greeting the sensitive flesh around her clit. She reached a warm wetness, soaking her fingers in it. Wet from just the longing thoughts of her brunette lover? Beidou had no idea what she could do to the Tianquan, even when she wasn't there all Ningguang wanted was to crumble beneath her fingertips. 

The Ninggaung from many months before would have thought of herself as pathetic. Falling in love was not something she planned on ever happening. She used to think love was a sign of weakness. But she doesn't care now. If she was weak, so be it. She loved Beidou and everything she could do to her.

She rubbed her now wet fingers against her sensitive clit, holding in a small gasp that nearly escaped her lips. All she wanted was for more. She wished Beidou's tongue could replace her fingers. Ningguang let out a whimper of frustration, her hands were simply not enough to please herself anymore. She needed Beidou. She was such a mess without her.

Ningguang froze when she heard a floorboard creek. She prayed to the archons that she was just hearing things. Her position was compromising to say the least. A hand down her panties, the other resting on her breast. It was not a position she wanted anyone to see her in. She took a deep breath and propped herself up to see what may await her.

Her eyes were met by a ruby colored one. Beidou was leaning against her doorway, arms crossed and a shit-eating grin on her face. How long had she been there? Ningguang's cheeks quickly flushed a bright pink.

"Beidou! I-," The blonde started to exclaim, maneuvering herself in a less revealing position. She covered her lower half with a small throw pillow. She had no idea what to say. It was obvious what she was doing. She looked away from the pirate's gaze and quietly admitted, "I missed you."

Beidou sauntered over, letting her boots thump against the floorboards. Every step made the knots in Ningguang's stomach tighten with anticipation and apprehension. Her eye never leaving Ningguang's. She leaned over and lifted Ningguang's face so she had no choice but to meet her eye, "I can see that."

"Archons, you're one cocky bastard aren't you," Ningguang rolled her eyes and let out a small laugh. She no longer felt the tension lingering on her shoulders.

"I think anyone would be if they saw the sight I just saw," Beidou replied, devious as ever. She still had her usual smirk plastered on her face. Ningguang couldn't ignore the look of desire in her remaining eye.

"Oh shut up," Ningguang playfully scolded as she slipped a finger underneath the collar of Beidou's top, dragging the taller woman's face closer until her lips touched hers. She had missed the faint taste of alcohol that always lingered on the pirate's lips. She could still feel Beidou's smile even as their kiss deepened. She wrapped her arms around Beidou's neck and guided her onto the bed so that she would lie on top of her.

Beidou moved her knee between Ningguangs thighs, feeling the heat that radiated from her lover's crotch. They stayed like this for what felt like hours. Enjoying the company of each other that they had lacked for weeks. Ningguang felt a hand rest against her cheek as Beidou lifted her face up to look at her. Her gaze was fixed on her eyes as if they were the most mesmerizing thing in the world. Her travels have exposed her to countless sights, but nothing compared to the beauty of the woman that laid underneath her.

"I missed you too."
